Principal’s Update:
In lieu of a Principal’s Update, watch for Mr. Ross’s annual end-of-the-year letter to parents, it’ll be hitting email in-boxes tomorrow/Friday, April 30th.
This week our virtue theme is ZEAL – The strength to pursue an objective with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. ZEAL is necessary for everything in life! We need ZEAL to pursue our objectives with energy and enthusiasm if we expect to succeed, especially when things get difficult. Being a zealot for Christ means we love all people with fervor, even our opponents!
Pope St. Gregory the Great (590-604): “No sacrifice is more acceptable to God than zeal for souls.”

Archangel Sports:
Futsol continues after school. The only new news here is that on Tuesdays and Thursdays after Jr. High practice, there will be a bus run to SEAS. Students will wait here at the school for just a bit and depart around 2:45, for SEAS arrival at 3:00p. If parents could be there then/3:00p to scoop kids into cars (we can’t just leave them in the parking lot); the Lumen Bus can get out of the way of SEAS traffic.
The bus will drop kids in the UPPER parking lot, please meet them there. Students involved with choir and/or track practice are also welcome to ride the bus.
May 3rd, after school running club will start up for both Jr. High & High School students. Runners should bring lunch, a water bottle and weather appropriate gear for outdoor practice. More details to follow.
Front Office News:

Pre-pay by cash or check in the Front Office.
