We are deeply saddened to share that Ms. Bickerstaff, beloved 4th grade teacher, passed away this morning. She will be greatly missed by the Loretto family. Information on services will be forthcoming.
'Twas the day of holiday break, and all through the school,
The students were smiling, excitement the rule.
The classrooms were tidy, the lessons all through,
And everyone knew what they were about to do.
The teachers were cheerful, their work all complete,
Looking forward to time with family to meet.
The bells rang, the buses pulled out in a line,
As the kids waved goodbye, ready for fun time.
So off to the holidays, with joy and delight,
We’ll see you in January, refreshed and bright!

Good Morning,
This is a friendly reminder that today is Early Release Day. Students are dismissed an hour and 45 minutes earlier than normal dismissal time. (See the attached picture)
Also, at the front of the building will be a table of all of the coats, shirts, etc. from the lost and found. Please take a moment throughout the day to stop up and see if you can find any of your children's lost items. If they are not picked up by Friday, they will be donated.
