Dear Parents,

Fall Festival is here!!! Between Halloween and the festival, the kids couldn’t be more excited! This will be a fabulous day to enjoy for all of our school families. It’s an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and enjoy lots of great food, games and entertainment. Your De LaSalle Spirit Shirts are going home today. Please wear them to the festival. We wish to extend a great big De LaSalle thank you to the Valentine family and Bette Fetterly, grandmother of Thomas Riley, for generously providing the Spirit Shirts!!

See you at the festival!!
