Announcements

“Thanks” just isn’t enough to convey our gratitude to our Home and School Association for the amazing auction and dinner that they held this past week. “SLS Under the Palms” was one of the most successful auctions in the history of our school! This event happened only because of the incredible leadership of our Auction Chair, Liz Mills, our Home and School President, Kyle Denney, our Vice President, Cathy Childs. There are so many more ladies to name that were integral in the success of this event! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

At dismissal, there are only two options for pick-up:

Carpool Line: You may drive through our carpool line, and we will place your child in your car.
Park and Pick-Up: You may park your car and meet your child at the designated Park and Pick-Up location on the Dining Hall steps.

For safety reasons, please do not walk up to the carpool/breezeway area or wait outside the school/church doors to pick up your child. Only teachers should be in the carpool and breezeway areas to ensure a controlled and secure dismissal process.

Due to the inclement weather, Diocesan leadership and the Memphis Grizzlies have made the decision to postpone our Catholic Night with the Grizzlies. We are excited to announce that we have officially reset Catholic night with the Grizzlies for Wednesday March 4^that 7:00 PM. On this special night we will still have all our fan experiences and giveaways aligned with what was already expected. You will still see your tickets for tonight’s game and those tickets are still valid should you choose to attend tonight. Within the next one to two weeks, you will receive communication from the Grizzlies once your Wednesday, March 4^th tickets have been added to your account. No action is required from you. Your seating for March 4 will be in approximately the same location as your original purchase.
