Word from the Principal
Can you believe that September has flown by. We are all settled into our daily routine at school. September has been a great month. The 7th and 8th were able to hear Joel Penton speak at the public school. The 3rd and 4th graders went to the Meadows of Leipsic to Read with a Resident. The first, third and fifth graders had a speaker on Personal Safety. The top five sellers from the car raffle earned their trip to Sky Zone. The entire school completed their fall MAP testing. We also celebrated on the Confirmation candidates on September 22nd. On Monday, the 23rd the students got together with their Family Groups to learn about their Saint. The 5th graders enjoyed a day learning about Soil and Water Conservation. The last week in September we celebrated Homecoming with dressing up, a pep rally and a visit from the Leipsic Football team. October is looking like a very busy month as well. There will be no school on October 14th as the teachers will be attending a Diocesan Retreat. There will also be no school on October 17th and 18th. The last day to wear shorts will be October 15th. The newsletter will be distributed monthly. Please check the website to stay up to date on activities and events happening at the school – ls.noacsc.org
May God Continue to Bless each of you and your families.
