It is hard to believe that the 2016-17 year is ending. I m not sure I m caught up yet from September! It has been a pleasure to be part of the Immac family for the 2016-17 school year. Thank you for your prayers, support, and volunteerism. Part of the reason Immac is such a success is because of the great community it has supporting it. Your efforts have propelled our students to ever higher heights. I m not one to live vicariously, but I have to admit it feels pretty good to be part of this winning team; and maybe I am living through the students a just a little. It s hard not to want to though, because our students excel on so many fronts. It s a treat to be part of their daily lives. Whether it s another banner in our gym (with the recent golf provincial win the count is now 22 championships in 5 years!), spectacular fine arts events (take a bow drama, art, and music students), or stellar academic achievements (way to go mathletics!), Immac students do our community proud. I love our students, our staff, and our community. As you prepare for summer break, make sure you and your children find time to kick back and relax. They ve earned it!

Students typically keep their textbooks till their final exam for studying with. They are to hand in textbooks to the library or their coarse teacher as soon as they are finished with exams. Additionally, all library books are due no later than June 23rd. Mrs. Casorso Immac's annual athletic awards will be held on June 15th at 2:00 PM. These awards showcase the Mustangs' tremendous accomplishments (like the golf provincial's we just won!) and our incredibly talented athletes. Families are welcome (and encouraged!) to attend. 1

Do your utmost to banish darkness from your mind and come to understand what true, selfless piety is. Through confession, endeavor to purify your heart of anything which may still taint it. Enliven your faith, which is essential to understand and achieve piety." St. John Bosco 5
