Our Lady of Fatima Miraculous Medals

In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the appearance of Our Lady at Fatima, on Friday each of our students received a blessed Miraculous Medal as well as a book of the Fatima story.

These gifts have been provided through the generosity of Mrs. Eileen Heim, grandmother of Mrs. Parriott, who wishes that each family have the opportunity to learn more about devotion to Our Lady on the occasion of this special Feast Day.

12th Annual Race for Education

Preparations are now underway for the 12to Annual Carrera por la Educación which will be held on Thursday, May 4th.  A packet of important information related to the event was distributed to students at a special assembly on Monday afternoon.

Students are asked to submit completed mailing labels by Monday, February 13to.  For additional information about this process and the incentives offered to students, please see the information packet.  Should you have any questions, please contact the event coordinator, Mrs. Marjorie Collins, at 703-365-9686.
