Hello Families,

       The vernal equinox is ten days away- SPRING! We give thanks daily for the many blessings in our lives. Thank you, Parents, for the generous donations for our Ukraine drive, and special thanks to Tine Rustad and Tammy Fink for the hours spent in packing up the impressive collection and delivering it to Cardi’s this weekend! These actions are living our Faith- completing the corporal works of mercy to take care of each other in need.

       Today marks the end of the second trimester grading period. Report cards will be coming out at the end of next week. Our students are encouraged to stay focused on their academic goals as we move into the warmer weather. Too many distractions can take away the good efforts that have been made this year, so we want to keep everyone proud of their accomplishments!

       Each week I attend the RIDOH pod meeting for school administrators and staff. This week, as we moved to masks being optional in school, the transition was a smooth one, and all showed respect and compassion for each other. Again, we are living our Faith when we support each other.

      We are planning an exciting Summer Camp experience for our young campers this July! More information will be coming next week.

      Good luck to our nine Middle School Science Fair winners who will compete in the Rhode Island Science and Engineering Fair at Times Square Academy this weekend! We are proud of the scientific efforts of all our students, and we thank Ms. Barrett and the Middle School teachers for all their hard work!

      Good luck to Fourth Grade student Joaquin Arellano who was the winner of the Diocese of Providence Spelling Bee in February.  He will now compete in the R. I. State Spelling Bee on Saturday at Lincoln Middle School representing the schools of the Diocese of Providence.

      As we move through our weeks of Lent this year, our classes will be attending Mass and the Stations of Cross at St. Lucy’s. Our students are learning to direct their efforts through prayer and service. The Student Council is instituting a respect program throughout the school, identifying those students whose examples of respect for each other are great examples for all to follow. Again, we are living our Faith through our good acts! We are proud that-

Respect Goes A Long Way At AS²A!

Enjoy your weekend!  
God bless you,
Mrs. Brouse
