Dear Families,
I hope that you’re all enjoying this October weather and the month of the Rosary. Speaking of the Rosary, our third graders are hosting the Rosary Prayer Service tomorrow in church. They’ve been working really hard and practicing for this big day - I know they’re going to do a great job leading the school in prayer.
It’s hard to believe, but next week will end with Halloween! All students are invited to dress up in their Halloween costume on Friday for school. Please be sure that all costumes comply with our guidelines for costumes. No weapons can be included with costumes, no masks or face paint should be worn. Students should still have on shoes that allow them to safely participate in the school day - walking up and down stairs, going to recess, etc - gym shoes are recommended. The costumes should not interfere with the school day - students should be able to independently use the restroom while in their costume. Our preschoolers will have their own parade in the morning, while the older students will end their day with a parade. There will also be classroom parties at some point throughout the day - thanks to our HSA room reps for helping to plan and coordinate these fun parties!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Rachel Metz,
Head of Lower School
Following Mass, veterans are invited to join the school community at 9:30am in the courtyard, where members of the Army will perform a Color Guard ceremony and honor veterans alongside St. Ben's students, staff and teachers.
