February Newsletter
Dear Parents,
I can’t believe Catholic Schools Week has come and gone.
We enjoyed many fun events this year, and we have made many memories!
Despite the weather, the ham dinner, verbal & silent auctions & donations
brought in over $10,000 again this year; thanks to your generosity and support!
Thanks for your belief in Catholic education, we are so thankful to have
St. Agnes!
I wanted to let everyone know that the Sisters of the Presentation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, in Aberdeen, will be awarding thirty $500 scholarships for
Catholic school students, that can be applied towards your tuition.
Anyone can apply, if you are
interested, please stop in the office to pick up an application as soon as
possible, because they are due by
March 18, 2013. We have a few St.
Agnes families receive scholarships over the past few years!
Thanks and good luck!
