The students at St. Philip’s Catholic School have been busy in April and the month is only half over. The 5th graders are enjoying some time up at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center this week.
Principal Andrea Dietrich says the second graders will have their first communion later this month, spring testing will begin at the end of April, and the singers will have a concert for grandparent’s day early in May. She says registration is open for any child that would like to enroll in their K-through-5 school in the next year.
Dietrich says they recently received good news as they had a goal of raising $70,000 from their annual marathon last October, and they finally reached their goal so the students will be rewarded with a field trip. She says there was a rummage and bake sale at St. Philip’s Church April 4th and 5th which was a huge success – raising more money for student scholarships.
