Good morning! I’m sorry the below email did not make it to you on Friday. It contains several links, so I sent a test email to a couple parents and then, apparently, I forgot to send it to the larger group. My apologies! I hope you managed to have a fulfilling weekend without my Friday letter. 🙂 Peace, Mr. O’

Hello Falcon Friends!
We had a great week, but we had an AMAZING Wednesday afternoon. We wore blue and green in solidarity with our friends at Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School, as we celebrated the life a recently deceased CJ student, Leo Lehner. We celebrated Mass as a school and offered up special intentions for the Lehner family and the entire CJ community. Our students performed 123 service hours while making Thanksgiving placemats for a local senior living home. We had ice cream and played outside in the gorgeous weather for over an hour.
