Hello and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I hope you had a great LONG weekend.
Our staff had a wonderful Retreat on Friday. It is such a joy to spend time with this amazing group!
Team Trentman spent the weekend following our Flyers. While we didn’t win the A10 Championship (yes… we went to the finals in Pittsburgh!), it was a great weekend cheering on the team we love. We take March Madness pretty seriously; many fun weeks ahead for my boys!
Schedule:
A Few Things:
1. Thursday, March 19 is Spring Picture Day. The kids may be OOU.
2. Friday, March 20 is Crazy Sock Day to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day! Technically… 3/21 is World Down Syndrome Day… but I won’t make the kids come to school on a Saturday! To celebrate and spread awareness, we will be having Crazy Sock Day. Students can wear crazy/mismatched socks with their uniform.
3. Quarter 3 Report Cards will go home on Friday, March 20. Please empty, sign the envelope, and return to school. Thank you!
4. The PTO Son Event is this weekend! Please see the attachment for more info!
5. In other PTO News: Our PTO Run-a-Thon is up and RUNNING. (Get it!?) You should have received a message from 99Pledges to activate your account. Please activate and share the link with families. Let’s raise some money and get some exercise! More info about the Run-a-Thon coming soon.

3. In our continuing mission throughout 2026 to remind ourselves that Prayer is the Heartbeat you are invited to a special Monday night series by Father Kyle in March called “Lord Teach Us to Pray.” Fr. Kyle will share what the Catholic Catechism has to say about prayer and end each night with an experience of prayer. Looking for a way to increase your prayer life? Don’t miss this- Please see the attachment!

6. I am attaching our Archdiocesan approved 26 – 27 calendar for next year. It is a skeleton… not a lot of info on there.
7. Please write your family name in uniform sweatshirts for easier return. Thank you!
8. A reminder on our shoe reset:
- No Crocs
- No sandal slides/flip flops/clogs
- Shoes should be secure and safe for running, playing, and learning
- On Gym Days, students must wear sturdy, fully-enclosed, non-skid shoes so they can fully and safely participate
Have a wonderful week!
