Lewis Award
Congratulations to our 5th grade teacher, Ms. Tina Isenbarger, for being selected as one of the three finalists for the Monsignor Gerald L. Lewis Award for Excellence in Teaching! This award is given out annually by the Diocese of Raleigh. During the month of February, Ms. Isenbarger will be observed and interviewed by the award committee. A winner will be announced soon after that. We wish her all the best as she continues to the next phase of competition!
Money Counters
One of the activities during the upcoming Catholic Schools Week celebration will be a Penny War. After this activity has concluded, we will be in need of volunteers to count all of the money collected. Volunteers will be needed starting on February 3rd. The length of time needed to count money will be determined by how many volunteers we can acquire. The help you offer for this task will count toward your required volunteer hours. Please contact the school office if you can help.
