Morning Announcements for Tuesday, March 31
We are in the fifth week of Lent and the daily Gospel readings focus on the coming Passion of the Lord.  
“Holy God, Jesus knew what was to come, and yet he remained faithful to his mission.  May we be faithful to you and your commands, even when it is difficult.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen”

Congratulations to the following students who have met their AR goals for the quarter:  Leila Green, Ethan Rothrock, Clayton Coolman, and Addisyn Meryo. 

Thanks to all who joined our Zoom Open House last evening.   It was good to see so many of our families.   We will schedule more meetings in the future.

The governor announced yesterday that school buildings will remain closed until at least May 1^st.  Our teachers are continuing to work hard to establish our new routine of distance learning.  
Paper and written assignments may be dropped off at the school Thursday between 12:30 and 3:30 pm.   We will have a box for each class.   We will be set up for “drive-thru” type of service.    Additional drop-off dates may be scheduled in the future as needed. 

There will be no classes or meetings scheduled on Good Friday and Easter Monday.   Most teachers will begin a regular schedule of Zoom meetings and Google Classroom assignments on Monday.   If you need a break from school work other than Easter weekend, this week would be the time to take a day or two.  

Please call the school or email mritzert@cdeducation.org or help or questions about EdChoice and other scholarship applications.
