Dear St. Nicholas CES Parents and Guardians,
As we continue to reflect on ways to show gratitude and compassion, during this month of October, let us pray…
Creator God,
We thank You for our food, and remember the hungry.
We thank You for our health, and remember the sick.
We thank You for our friends, and remember the friendless.
We thank You for our freedom, and remember the enslaved and those living in violence each day.
May these memories stir us to service,
That Your gifts to us may be used to serve others.
Amen.
Safe Arrival
We thank all parents and guardians for using our Safe Arrival student absence reporting system. A reminder that all absences should be reported by the start of St. Nicholas CES’ school day, that is, 8:25am. If you happen to miss this time, please ensure that you confirm your child’s absence by responding to the Safe Arrival email / call that you receive. Thank you for your cooperation!

Blessed are thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
St. Nicholas, pray for us.
Wishing you a terrific and spooky week!
Sincerely,
C. Quadrini, Principal
