From the Principal
Dear Parents,
Tragically, Mrs. Meiller’s mother-in-law, Trish Meiller, passed away early this week. Please join us in praying for Mrs. Meiller, her husband James, and their family for peace in this very difficult time. Mrs. Meiller will be out until next week, for the funeral on Saturday.
During this month of Thanksgiving, let’s remember to be grateful every day for the blessings that God has given to us. We here at IHM are grateful that you have chosen IHM to be your partners in educating your children and sharing our faith.
Prairie Fire Theater rehearsals are in full swing! Even if your child isn’t involved, come to see a performance on Friday or Saturday. You will be amazed by what the students can do in only a week of preparation!
Conferences are coming up soon. I hope the online Sign-Up Genius helped you find a time that works best for your family. If you did not sign-up online, a time has been appointed to you. Please see your Eagle Express for that time.
Catholic Schools provide a firm foundation for the growth and development of your child. Pray for a year filled with faith and learning. Let us be a community of service to one another and to our world. On behalf of Fr. Chad, the teachers and staff of Immaculate Heart of Mary School, God bless you for choosing Immaculate Heart of Mary School!
Diana Winter, Secretary
