April will be a busy month for everyone
at Holy Rosary School. Trips and other special activities are planned
for many of the students. The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills will be
administered in grades one through eight, and report cards will be given
out in the middle of the month.
Two spiritual retreats are
planned for the eighth graders. Their Confirmation retreat is on
Friday, April 11th and the Respect for Life retreat is two
weeks later on Wednesday, April 23rd.
All children in kindergarten through
grade eight will attend a performance of High School Musical at
the Yorktown Theater on April 10th. Mr. Denis McCarthy, a
pre-k parent, is one of the performers. This cultural arts trip will be
a welcome diversion for all of us.
The sixth and seventh graders are
looking forward to another excursion on the 25th. This trip
will take them to the Westchester Broadway Theater in Elmsford. The
class and their chaperones will dine on a delicious lunch prior to
watching a performance of Beauty and the Beast.
Cultural trips are funded in part
by the Home School Association. The H.S.A. needs everyone’s continued
support so that our children can benefit from more exciting activities
before school ends in June.
The peace of Christ be with you!
