Sunset Social
On Saturday, May 15th join the St. Patrick’s families at the Port n’ Starboard in New London, for hordeurves, live music, and a silent auction to support our school. Now more than ever we need your support. Generous families and companies have donated items and beautiful class projects will be up for auction. If you are interested in donating anything to the auction your support would be greatly appreciated. Donations and questions should be directed to Crissy Barry at cbarry01@snet.net. Tickets may be purchased in the school office at $40.00 a piece.

Wine Tasting
The annual wine tasting evening will be held Saturday, March 20th. For more information contact Andrew Cannon at 860-367-4577.

Basketball Tournament
The boys and girls 395 league basketball tournament will be March 13 and 14th. You are welcome to come and cheer on our teams.

Re-Registration
Re-registration forms may be found on line after next week for the coming year. Any new registrations must come during March 8-10. Once these forms are on line please return as soon as possible, as we do have waiting lists at this time for most grades. Also make sure all tuition and fees are current.

Multi-Cultural Day
Please come tour the various countries studied and displayed in each classroom. The students work very hard on getting the rooms ready and have learned many new things about their countries. Come and let them share with you on March 25th. Please note that NO hot lunch will be served that day.

Volunteers
Mrs. McIvor is looking for volunteers for lunch and yard duty. If you are able to give a few hours of your time it would be greatly appreciated. You may contact Mrs. McIvor in the office at any time.

Lenten Masses
We will be going to mass each Friday during Lent. Children should wear their regular school uniforms on these days. If they have physical education that day they may wear their sneakers. You are more than welcome to join us, mass is at 8:15. We are working with all grades on proper etiquette while in church and appreciate your assistance with this.

Seat Cushions
We have in the office five-seat cushions, which were purchased, at one of our basketball games. They have not been claimed. If you purchased but did not receive yours, please call the office. Thank you

Congratulations
Congratulations to our second graders who made their first reconciliation on Thursday, February 25th. We are very proud of them, as they get ready to receive their first communion in May.

New Altar Servers
Any students in grades 4 and above who would like to begin this ministry please contact Mrs. Reed. It is a wonderful way to enhance your spiritual life.

Health Update
All scoliosis checks will be completed by the beginning of March. Just a reminder to call the nurse if your child is out sick.

Morning Drop Off
We once again ask you not to block the rectory driveway and do not pass the buses. We have children being dropped in the middle of the street, which is very dangerous and we cannot be responsible for their safety. Please take a moment longer to drive through the back lot and drop off.

Report Cards
The end of the marking period is March 5th with report cards being issued on the 16th.
