Dear Families,

What a week we’ve had! From our Bengal Cubs starting, to Fun Run Kick-off and Picture Day, plus a very special Mass and finishing up iReady Diagnostics, we’ve been very busy - and it was only a four day week! Yesterday’s Mass with Archbishop Sorrentino was such a wonderful experience for our students. They were extremely respectful and reverent both during the Mass, while they were waiting their turn to see the relics up close and checking out the collage of St. Carlo Acutis made from toys that helped to represent him. Our visitors, parishioners and school staff alike were so proud of the kids, they really represented St. Ben’s with pride.

This weekend will be our Baby and Kids Green Garage sale - it’s a great place to shop for gently used items for your children or to volunteer if you have some time on your hands on Saturday morning. A HUGE thank you to the Garage Sale committee and volunteers for all of the hard work they’ve put in to make this event such a success.

Next week, we’ll end our week with the Fun Run. Be sure to ask your children about the kick-off and what they’re learning about in their daily video updates. Then mark your calendar to join us next Friday - be sure to check your child’s classroom newsletter for the time they’ll be running. Also note that next Friday all students should come to school in their PE uniform and gym shoes (preschoolers in clothes/shorts that are comfy and conducive to running). Students will change into their Fun Run shirts once they get to school. A BIG thanks to our HSA for all they do to make the Fun Run run smoothly :)

Have a great weekend!
