4th, 5th Grade Families,

Looking for a fun way for your student to get involved after school? Drumline is being offered through our ACE (After Class Enrichment) Program!

Drumline is open to 4th, 5th and 6th graders and gives students the opportunity to learn beats, rhythms, and basic drumming skills while building teamwork, confidence, and musicality.

Classes start next week, but it’s not too late to sign up! If your student is interested, simply download and complete the ACE Enrollment Form and return it to the front office.

Come make some noise with us!

Due to scheduling conflicts, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is no longer being offered during the regular school day for our 1st and 2nd grade students. However, we still want families to have the opportunity to give their children this wonderful faith experience!

CGS is being offered through our ACE (After Class Enrichment) Program. The class meets on Tuesdays from 3:15–5:15 p.m. and is specifically for students in 1st and 2nd grade.

Classes begin next week, and it’s not too late to sign up! If you would like your child to participate, simply download and complete the ACE Enrollment Form and return it to the front office.

We would love to have your child join us for this special opportunity to grow in their relationship with Jesus and our Catholic faith!
