Dear Parents,
It's with a heavy heart that we are informing our St. Malachy family about Mrs. Levine’s absence from school. Her husband is getting closer to departing this life and entering an eternal life with Jesus. Her husband needs more care at this time and she needs to be there for him and for her three sons. All of you have been so supportive of this very difficult journey since the school year began.
Mrs. Lana Bearden has agreed to be the first grade substitute in her absence. We are so grateful to her to take on this responsibility and glad that the students will have the same teacher each day.
Please continue to pray for the Levine Family.
Pizza
Thank you to the Fry family for the pizza on Monday for the celebration of T.J. and Nate’s life.
