Thursday Note Home

Dear Visitation Families,

It is certainly true that we have talented students here at Visitation Catholic School. Our students had an opportunity to shine on Friday night during the Spring Spectacular. It was a Disney night as all of our classes sang songs from different Disney movies, and they each did a wonderful job.

The talent show portion was great, as well, as our individual students shined.

Thank you to Angela Moceri, Thom Ryng, and a great cast of supporting help.

SPEAKING OF FRIDAY NIGHT: If anyone taped the show and wouldn’t mind sharing, we would be happy to make copies for other parents to enjoy. If you have a tape to share, please contact Carol Loughridge at the school phone # 474-6424.
