It's hard to believe our Magnificat Gala was already over a week ago! Students are starting to "cash in" the experiences their families won in our silent & live auctions, and are having so much fun!

Thank you to Josie L.'s family for bidding on & winning Mrs. Wojtaszek's donated experience - "Dine in the classroom with dessert!" Josie & a friend were able to dress down, eat lunch in the 2nd grade classroom, & take home a treat bag. Mrs. Wojtaszek even provided a special dessert! Possibly the best part though was the Macaw stuffy Josie gets to keep at the end of the school year.

⚠️ Action Alert!
The new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit would allow all taxpayers to receive a 100% federal tax credit, up to $1,700, for donations that fund scholarships helping students with tuition, tutoring, and other education costs. If New York opts in, this program would bring millions of dollars in privately funded support to families, while allowing taxpayers to redirect a portion of their federal taxes to help students across the state, including our Catholic school families. Tell Gov. Hochul to opt in!

🐄🧈 You BUTTER believe it - grade 2 is having fun learning about all things dairy! Mrs. Wojtaszek's class is participating in the Milk for Heath “Cow for Now” program through the Niagara Frontier, & made butter recently using a small container, heavy cream & lots of shaking power - delicious!

Grade 2 will also follow along on the life of a cow named "Hattie" who lives on a dairy farm in Corfu to learn more about the WNY dairy industry & how agriculture plays a role in our communities. We can't wait to see what moo-velous project they explore next!
