Last year we had an excellent response to the SCHOOL SURVEY, with over one hundred responses. Change takes time, and funds, and personnel so even if you did not see immediate changes in some areas, your input is needed and helpful. In a year of transition, your responses would be extremely helpful to the administration and the School Board. Please go tohttp://tinyurl.com/c3up8sx and take the MSW School Survey!! We have extended the deadline to May 4th to give our parents more time to give your input!!! The School Board will be issuing a summary report of the survey results at the end of the school year. Thank you for taking this time to help us plan for the future and keep MSW School a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence!

Color Portraits will be at school to take CLUB PICTURES for the Yearbook on Tuesday, April 24th. We will also take pictures of the baseball and softball teams, so these students need bring their team jerseys. The moderators of some clubs may ask the students to bring their Club shirts on picture day. The club moderator will notify you if this is the case.

| Wednesday's 8:40 am Mass was said in memory of Tommy DeGrasse, the older brother of Maggie (2nd grade) and Mia (1st grade). The school children attended the Mass and remembered the DeGrasse family in our prayers. The planting of bulbs around the MSW property this past October ("TOMMY'S TULIPS"project) was organized and funded by his family in his memory, for what would have been Tommy's tenth birthday. Tommy died in November of 2002, at the age of 19 months. What a wonderful way to honor Tommy, as we have all been uplifted by the beautiful blooming tulips this spring.
