St. Agnes School Mailbag Newsletter for March 2, 2018 Special Notes from Mrs. Paulsell: Bathrooms: It pains me to have to communicate about this but we again have damage in the NEW boys bathroom upstairs after opening it back up after the first incident. Due to the sensitivity of the room, it is difficult to pinpoint the culprit. PLEASE have a conversation with your child/ren about the blessing we have been given to be able to do this remodel and how it is important to take care of our surroundings. Yearbook Pictures urgently needed! : Please send any and all group/individual pictures you may have to stagneshomeandschool533@gmail.com Lenten Challenge: I have been reading a focus question for students to think about each morning for Lent and then I give them a challenge for the day.
