Celebration of the Year of 150th Anniversary of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart
As mentioned on the monthly calendar -- Wednesday January 28th there will be a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart's arrival in the United States.
The Sisters in 1932 would open Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School and remained here until 1980. The Franciscan Sisters along with dozens of other religious sisters would be paramount in opening Catholic Schools all across America. This Year Pope Francis I requests us to celebrate the great work that religious sisters and brothers have done for centuries all across the world. Mass on January 28th will be at 11:00 AM and Sister Ann, the provincial of the Franciscan Sisters of Peekskill will speak to the school children during Mass. A number of students and teachers went to see the Sisters on Saturday, December 6th for the opening Mass of their anniversary. If parents are available they are asked to join the school community in celebrating the founding order of sisters of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School.
Progress Reports
Progress Reports were distributed by Fr. Antonio to all, all means all students on Friday January 9th. They should be reviewed by parents, signed and returned to the child's teacher. They will be returned to the student after the teachers ascertain that the parent has reviewed the grades. It is important before we move into mid-terms that parents know the status of their child's current academic standing so that they will make sure that their child is studying if they are failing a subject. Mid-terms will begin on January 21st as listed on the monthly calendar. Parents who wish to see teachers should make an appointment with Alba. Parents who wish to see Mr. Woods may do so on Sundays or before 7:30 AM on weekdays. A note regarding the Progress Reports- conduct marks did not appear on the Progress Report for students in grades 1-8, PreK and K the conduct mark is there. Alan will be calling the Cornerstone group on Monday to check why the grades did not transfer. If Mr. Woods gets a reasonable answer from Cornerstone he will let parents know.
