Thanks to the Fine Arts Association Board for sponsoring and facilitating Fine Arts Day at Saint Juliana School on May 4 and 5. The beautiful display of the children's art work was appreciated by parishoners, parents, and students alike. On Monday afternoon, the assembly, "Comedy Sportz" was enjoyed by all the the studnets and teachers. Kudos to all those involved for the "art enriched" experiences!

Dental forms are due on May 15, 2008, for all students currently in kindergarten, second, and sixth grades for the 2007-2008 school year. Dental forms that were completed 18 months prior to May 15, 2008 are acceptable.

A special thank you to all the teachers in our school who prepare the students to receive the sacraments of Holy Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation. In addition, many other people also help to make these events beautiful and prayerful for the children and their families including our priests, deacons, music ministers, servers, the Mothers’ Club in planning the receptions, and the students who volunteer to serve and clean up. We are truly a community that loves and cares for one another.
