The Talent Show is tonight, Wednesday, April 30 at 7:00 p.m. in the gym. It should be about 40 minutes to an hour long, and features the talents of students in 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. It's free, and everyone is encouraged to come.
The Spring Concert is scheduled for Tuesday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m. All students will be performing, so check the costume directions below. Mark your calendar now for a wonderful evening of great kids and entertaining music.
- Kindergarten-3rd grade: Church clothes (nice, dressy clothes)
- 4th-8th grade: The theme for these grades is songs from the 1950s. Everyone can wear jeans and a white t-shirt, or other 1950s-style outfits: for example, poodle skirts and bobby socks for the girls, sport coats and slicked back hair for the boys.
- 4th grade: May also wear Hawaiian shirts, leis, and Bermuda shorts (shorts must be to the knees) (no swim trunks!).
- 5th grade: May wear bathrobes over jeans and t-shirt, or fifties clothes as described above.
Field Day Volunteer meeting will be on Thursday, May 15 at 6:00 p.m. in the gym. Mrs. Baxter will brief the volunteers on their assignments for the big day. Please remember to let Mrs. Baxter know if your child will NOT be at school that day. She will finish team balancing and volunteer assignments by the end of April.
Yearbook order forms are due by this Friday, May 2. We have a limited quantity, so be sure to order soon.
Used Uniform Sale: Thank you to all who contributed uniforms to the recent PTO used uniform sale. Many families bought from our inventory and provided a nice profit for the PTO. You will receive a check for your sold items from the PTO treasurer. The families that have unsold uniforms at school will receive an e-mail; please pick up your unsold uniforms no later than May 7th. Any items left at the school after that date will be considered a donation to the PTO. If you would like to know which of your items were sold, please contact Gail Carome at 703-280-9638 or gcarome@cox.net

The Mother Daughter Tea was wonderful! Thank you to Trish Konczal and Alisa Colareta for so graciously hosting a lovely afternoon last Sunday. Mothers and daughters of all ages enjoyed the delicious food, warm conversation, prizes, and beautiful live music.
Baby Bottle Boomerang: Spare change, bills, and checks (made out to the Paul Stefan Foundation) are being collected by each class. The funds will help the Paul Stefan Home assist mothers with crisis pregnancies. Parents who would like to contribute may send a donation in with their student.
PTO Ballots should be deposited in the ballot box by Monday, May 12. The PTO has an excellent slate of candidates for next year's Board, so complete your family's ballot, and send or bring it in by the 12th.
The Saints Among Us - St. Ambrose summer program for rising 5th -8th grade students. The program will take place in the parish hall on June 9-13, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. - noon each day. Learn about the lives of the saints through videos, discussions and making costumes with Sr. Cecilia. There is no cost for this camp, so bring your lunch, good cheer, and join us! Volunteer parents who know how to sew are needed. Donations of dark and muted color fabric and sewing supplies would be most welcome, and Sr. Cecilia needs to borrow a few sewing machines just for that week. Contact her at
