From the PTG President ...

Dear Parents,

Well, we are almost there. I think I need a break more than my kids do and I am sure I am not alone! I want to thank all of you for working so hard to make this school a wonderful place for our children. This has been a great year. We were blessed to have fantastic Committee Chairs who came up with wonderful new ideas, took charge and made it all look easy. THANK YOU!

Congratulations to all of the 8th graders on their graduation last Friday night. We wish you all great success as you leave St. Jude's and move onto high school Each of you brought something unique and special to this school and you will be missed.

We also congratulate our Kindergarten class this week as they graduate on Tuesday morning and join the "big kids" next year. It is amazing to see both their physical growth and the increase in their confidence since the first day of school. As I watched the 8th grade class over the last couple of weeks, it seems like just yesterday that they were starting kindergarten.

Linda Shannon is looking for help with the Hot Lunch Program. We need someone to purchase the drinks and treats and bring them to the school. Please see the notice in the Anchor or call Linda Shannon or Shelley Morley for additional information.

We have one final Board meeting this Thursday. As always, we welcome your presence and you input in our discussions/decisions. The meeting agenda is attached for your review.

Have a wonderful week and a restful summer. We will see you all in August at the Orientation Days.

God Bless,

Mary-Pat
