A Thank You from the 3rd Grade
 
Dear Fr. Larry, Sr. Sandy, Mrs. Underwood, Ms. Speckhart, Mrs. Carangelo, and 2nd Grade Families,
 
Thank you for the beautiful celebration mass you organized for our children on Tuesday. We enjoyed seeing them share their 1st Communion with the school community. Fr. Larry’s homily message of the importance of gratitude in our lives was appreciated by all in attendance! Thank you for everyone’s hard work preparing the children for this sacrament.
 
The 3rd Grade class would especially like to thank the 2nd Grade families for the lovely brunch they threw for us after the Communion Mass. We are grateful for the parents who donated items and volunteered their time to uphold this wonderful tradition that makes SRLA such a special place! We enjoyed they opportunity to celebrate our children and talk with our fellow parents!
 
Thank you!
The 3rd Grade Families
