Principal's Update 3.27.26
Sarah Casavechia
Welcome back! I hope your family had a nice spring break.
Thank you for a wonderful Sports Banquet last night. It was great to celebrate our student-athletes. A special thanks to Mr. Pope, the sports council, and Mr. Steven Ackerman for making it all happen.
Earth Month: Give Your Packaging a Second Life
This April, we’re teaming up with EcoShip to keep perfectly good shipping materials out of landfills and back into use. Before you toss that bubble wrap or mailer, send it our way instead. We’re collecting clean, gently used items like:
Bubble wrap (still puffy!)
Packing paper
Packing peanuts (bagged)
Bubble mailers & poly bags
It’s a simple way for our students (and families) to care for our planet and help others at the same time. Thanks for pitching in, one package at a time. A collection box will be located in the front hall during the month of April.
Toiletry Drive
During Lent, our student council is sponsoring a toiletry drive benefiting the Common Pantry. Please see the attached wish list if your family would like to participate. Please bring all items to school by Thursday, April 2. We are students of service!

Holy Week
As we enter Holy Week, we invite you and your family to pause, reflect, and walk together through the sacred days leading to Easter. This is a special time in our Catholic tradition to remember Jesus’ love, sacrifice, and the promise of new life. Throughout the week, our students will participate in prayer and age-appropriate liturgies to deepen their understanding of this holy season. We encourage your family to continue these conversations at home. Please take a moment to listen to Cardinal Cupich’s message about Holy Week.
