Dear Parents and Guardians,

Truly, the past few days have been difficult time for all of us. With the tragedy unfolding within our own country, we have really seen the power that support, prayer and assistance can have even in times of deepest trouble. We continue to pray with the children each day for the victims, families and emergency workers in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania and to talk about the events as questions are raised. Finally please keep in prayer the parents of some of our students who have been deployed to provide help in these areas.

VERY IMPORTANT ALERT

Nativity BVM School (PreSchool through Grade 6) will NOT BE IN SESSION on Friday, September 28th. Once our school calendar is constructed and approved, it is very rare that any changes have to be made. However, this change is necessary so that work can be completed on gas, water and electrical lines.

Because of the nature of work being done, we will be unable to provide childcare on that day. However, we hope that with this advance notice, families will be able to make provisions for their children.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this will cause within your family.

Please sign the bottom return slip so that we know you have been received notification. Any child receiving this slip will receive 5 Nativity Bucks from the classroom teacher. ENRICH CLASS WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 27th.

May God continue to Bless as we work together!

Sister Mary Jo
