Dear Parents,
HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS’ WEEK!!! I am proud and humbled to be a Catholic school teacher. I have spent my 40 year career in this Catholic school. I have been inspired by ICRS’s reputation, growth, and outreach. We are truly an impactful part of the lives of many students who have walked our halls. We have instilled a strong academic foundation for students’ educational path, fostered a sense of a community and service, and planted seeds of faith. Well done Immaculate Conception Regional School!
Here are some details of the week:
Monday: Pizza lunch. Way to go 8th graders! What great helpers! Spelling Bee: Congratulations Lauren Schultz and Veronica Oropeza! They represented our class well.
Tuesday : Alumni appreciation.
Wednesday : Crazy Sock day. Teacher appreciation
Thursday: 9:30 at ICC. Mass honoring grandparents and seniors. Concert band plays for the grandparent brunch.
Friday: Jammin’ our Jammies. 8:50 Family group activity.
Friday: OPEN HOUSE 5:00-6:00 All families are welcome. Come see what is going on in 8th grade and in our school. If you bring a new family with school age children with you to the OPEN HOUSE, you get 2 volunteer hours.
