This month our children are busy creating special “Mothers’ Day Gifts” which our moms tuck away each year as a cherished memory and keepsake. As a school community, we thank and celebrate the wonderful mothers who contribute in so many ways to the success of our children and our school programs. Our mothers enrich our lives, support and validate our efforts and love us forever. For this we are truly grateful.
During the month of May, we celebrate Mary the Mother of God as well as our own precious mothers who touch our hearts and fill our lives with love, each and every day. We strive to be like Mary in our faith and we are inspired to learn and serve one another through her example.
It is a time for us to be grateful for the beautiful gifts of ‘love’ our mothers share with us in so many ways. We will find time to honor and place value on them by planning gentle surprises which delight their days.
We would like to wish all mothers and their families the peace, love and joy this special month brings.

The Grades 4, 5’s and 6’s will be performing the musi-
cal based on L.M. Montgomery’s beloved novel of
Anne of Green Gables. This musical captures the spirit

her precocious and imaginative mind, her passion
and her heart. Anne of Green Gables is a musical that
will delight the whole family.
“The Sound of Music” Grade 2/3
Tuesday, June 5th &Wednesday, June 6th The Grade 2’s and 3’s will be performing a play

hope during World War II. The tale is of a young Maria
Rainer, whose free spirit has trouble fitting into the
rules and regulations of Nonnberg Abbey. When Ma-
ria is commissioned by the Mother Abbess to serve as
the governess for seven motherless children, she
transforms the Von Trapp family home from a place
of dour rules and regulations to one filled with joy,
with laughter, and with music. In the process, Maria

and their widower father, Captain Von Trapp …
and this is just the beginning!
