Dear Parents:
                                                                 EASTER:  New Life in Christ
                                                          Jesus Christ is risen, Alleluia!  Alleluia!
                                                           Thanks be to God, Alleluia!  Alleluia!

1.  HOLY WEEK:  Please remember to share the spiritual growth Holy Week inspires with your children.  Holy Thursday Mass at The Church of the Nativity is at 7:30 p.m.  Good Friday offers opportunity for solemn devotion.

2.  LAP-A-THON:  Friday, April 23, we will have our 5th annual fun run.    All our students look forward to participating in this event.  They are very excited once again to have a bike as part of the raffle for those students raising $200 or more.  This will be the best ever Lap-A-Thon!  We need lots of volunteers so be sure to sign up on the enclosed form.  This is a good opportunity to complete your service hours.

3.  LIFETOUCH SPRING PICTURE DAY:    Lifetouch photographers will be here on Thursday, April 15, for "Spring Portrait Day."   April 15 will be a  "free dress" day so students may wear their Easter outfits or choose an outfit  that is appropriate.  This Spring Portrait Day is new to Nativity.  There is no obligation to purchase any of the pictures unless you choose to do so.  No payment is required upfront, nothing to fill out.  In approximately three weeks you will receive a portrait packet.  More information will follow.

4.MANDATORY ROOM PARENT MEETING:  All Room Parents are to meet on Wednesday, April 14, at 7:00 p.m. in the school library to discuss the Teacher/Staff Appreciation Luncheon.

5.  LOST AND FOUND:  Our barrel is FULL!  Please check the over-flowing sweatshirt bin.  All sweatshirts have names on their labels.

6.  EASTER BASKET AND CLOTHING DRIVE:  Thank you to all who donated items and clothes to the Easter collection.  Last Thursday Nativity's three Girl Scout Troops were able to put together 86 baskets to be donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Society and New Creation Ministry, and it took two trips to deliver the clothes to St. Francis Center.  Thank you for your generosity!

7.  SERVICE HOURS REMINDER:    Just a reminder that there is only 1 month left to complete your service hours for the present school year.  April 30 is the cut-off date.  Service hour cards are coming home today to post your March hours.  Remember, we can’t track your hours if you don’t turn in your card.  Please contact Clora Hanley if you have you have any questions.


8.  MERCY HIGH SCHOOL:  Mercy High School in Burlingame will host their 6th & 7th grade student Open House on Friday, April 23rd from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.  All 6th & 7th grade girls are invited to attend the afternoon tour of Mercy's campus and enjoy fun-filled student demonstrations.  Mercy is located at 2750 Adeline Drive in Burlingame.  For more detailed information, contact Mrs. Ellen Williamson, Director of Admission at (650) 762-1114 or ewilliamson@mercyhsb.com.
