Dear Parents/Guardians,
The month of May is a time when we honor
Mary in a special way as our Queen and Mother. With Our Lord’s words to
St. John, “ Son, behold Your Mother,” Mary was given to us as our
heavenly Mother to watch over and care for us. It is with deep joy that
we are able to honor her in a special way with our May crowning ceremony
which will take place before the 8:30 a.m. Mass on May 9th.
Besides honoring our Blessed Mother at this time we would like to show
our respect and appreciation for all of our “special friends,“
grandparents, and all the benefactors of our school. We extend an
invitation to them to spend some time with us. The May Crowning will be
in Church at 8:20 a.m. and this will be followed by Mass. After Mass,
refreshments will be served in the gym, and then our guests may visit
their favorite student/ students in their classrooms.
This month is “extra special” for some of
our students as they received their First Holy Communion on Saturday,
May 3rd, at the 10:00 a.m. Mass. We congratulate and
welcome them to the table of the Lord. Thank you, also, to all of our
parents, Sister Georgiana ,and Miss Jackie for preparing them so well
and especially for the retreat day on April 28th.
Our prayers are with Mrs. Stetler and
baby Payton and we welcome Mrs. Deborah Edmiston as our seventh grade
teacher. We are very happy to have her with us for the remainder of the
year.
Sincerely,
Sister Mary Carmel |

GRATITUDE
Thank you to all of our parents who have
contributed their time and talents to help S.H.S. Home and School
Association and the Development office. The auction was both
a financial and a social success and I am most grateful to Sheila
Hershey and “her committee” for all their work. Again, the class
projects were “the best ever.”
We are grateful to Chuck Campagna and
Jessie Davenport for a great
job as they served as our co-presidents of the Home and School
Association during this year. Anyone interested in serving on the Home
and School for the 2008-09 school year, please call the school office.

UPDATES
Gym Uniform -
We will be
gradually phasing out the gray sweat pants and shirt in favor of navy
blue sweats (crew neck top). These will be available at Flynn & O’Hara
and the sweatshirt will have the logo on it.
However, you may
purchase the sweatshirt and pants at any department store if you find
them to be more economical. Also, you still have the option of wearing
the gray sweats for the 2008-09 school year and we still have a few left
here at school.
The maroon shorts
and the blue shirt will remain the same and they may be purchased at
Flynn & O’Hara along with the regular school uniforms. When purchasing
gym socks please make sure they are crew socks.
School
Uniforms will be measured at our school in
the gym on May 12th from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
