Announcements
Good afternoon! We started the month of May with a beautiful celebration of May Crowning during Mass this week. Our 8th graders and 3rd graders had the honor in participating in the crowning of the statue of the Blessed Mother. In is tradition during the month of May to pray the Rosary each day or do something else to honor Mary as the Mother of Jesus. I especially like to ask her and St. Joseph to guide and protect our families. Know of my prayers for you and your family.

Thank you for your attention to this.
Home and School
It’s EDUKIT Time!
Can you believe that the school year is almost over and we’re already thinking of next year?!?! Well, we are and that means that it’s Edukit time!! The items in the Edukits have been hand picked by your child’s teacher so, once you place order you won’t have to worry about school supplies come August. That means more time by the pool!! The cherry on top is that if you order between now and 6/28 the Edukit will be delivered right to SVdP and you can check off a trip to Target on your “ Back to School” to do list!! If your child still wants to purchase their own fun, flashy folders or another special item that they have to have they are welcome to do so. However, items in the Edukit cannot be replaced and they come as the teachers have requested. So, avoid the back to school madness and running from store to store looking for a Mead 3 ring binder with built in shoulder straps that convert into a one man tent with laser beams and order your Edukit today!
Here is the link for ordering and this is also a school fundraiser and SVdP earns money back for every kit purchased! If you place your order AFTER 6/28 the Edukit will be sent to your home.
