From the Office

Dear Parents,

A big “Welcome Back” to Mrs. Alicia Veencamp, our Middle School Social Studies and Math teacher, on her return from maternity leave this week! We are happy to have her back for the last few weeks of the year! Many thanks to Mr. Tim Brumm and Ms. Abby Noel for their teaching skills covering Mrs. Veencamp’s leave.

IHM Parish will be having a modified Parish Festival this year! See the attached flyers for lots more information and registration info!

Did You Know?

May 1st is the feast of St. Joseph the worker! While not the primary celebration of St. Joseph (that is March 19th), this feast allows us to celebrate St. Joseph in a way that we can all relate to him —as workers! Joseph is the patron saint of many things, including the universal Church, fathers, the dying, social justice, unborn children, travelers, immigrants, a happy death, families, pregnant women, travelers, house sellers and buyers, craftsmen, engineers, and working people in general!
