Dear Parents/Guardians,

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend as we are finally experiencing some Fall weather!

Last week we started with the first round of STAR testing as our standardized testing program. Students will be finishing them this week. Anyone who was not present during the scheduled time will be meeting with our school counselors to complete. Once everyone has completed their tests, we will mail out the results for your reference. On Thursday, our Student Council attended the annual Diocesan Catholic School Mass. They had a wonderful time participating and I thank our coordinator, Mrs. Tommolino for assisting. On Friday night we had our Fall Festival on campus. Our PTA Board did an amazing job decorating and preparing for this evening event. It was a beautiful night filled with conversations, food, and entertainment. New this year was a golf simulator game and an opportunity to practice your aim in some hatchet throwing. Thank you to all the vendors Brennan’s, Taste & Technique, Backyard Birdie Club, and the Hatchet Throwing Group for making the night extra fun!

As a reminder school is closed this Friday, October 24^th as all teachers within the Diocese of Trenton will be attending a professional development. I want to wish all of our 8^th grades good luck on their HSPT exam this coming weekend. I know how hard they have been working to prepare and know that they will meet with success!

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and a blessed week ahead.

Sincerely,

Caroline Fitzgerald, MA Eds.
