Dear Parents and Guardians,
Prayers and Acknowledgments
Please keep our respective students and their families in your prayers as they participated in First Holy Communion and Confirmation last week. Both services were beautiful and heart warming. Many thanks to Ms. Sandoval, CCD teachers Barbara Penner, Dan and Ayde Vogel, and to Director of Religious Education Sheree Leone, for a job well done.
We wish our fourth graders a wonderful experience at Coloma this week. Congratulations to our track team for a strong performance at the Divisional Competition last weekend. The Spirit Festival is set for Sunday, May 18, at Chabot College in Hayward. Competition begins at 10:00 a.m. Let’s give our student-athletes a strong showing of support! The Festival marks a culmination of hard work and commitment by Coach Cappel and his staff, as well as our competitors. Go Knights!
Thank you to all our parents and staff, who contributed to Sunday’s Baby Shower, sponsored by our dedicated T.E.R.E.S.A. Committee and Women’s Club. This benefited Project Warm Hug and the UCSF Neonatal Unit Intensive Care Unit.
We are grateful to all our families who have contributed to Box Tops for Education. View latest results. Mrs. Andrea Conneally, our coordinator, reports that contributions are still welcome and can be placed in the collection box in each classroom.
