Dear St. Clare of Montefalco Families,
 
Dropping the mic! We made it through the entire 2019/2020 school year without missing a beat. Why? It’s because the St. Clare of Montefalco School family is about challenge. You all do not hesitate or back away from challenge. We had so many over the course of the school year. Honestly, I was forever impressed at how smoothly our school moved into the Distance Learning platform in March. Fellow Falcons, we had no fussing, no defeated attitudes, no missing in action families over the course of the last 10 weeks. The few that struggled connecting had support by school staff to make sure they were brought back into the fold. 

St. Clare of Montefalco School parents, students, staff, and extended family members, you are leaders in the Archdiocese of Detroit’s proclamation to Unleash the Gospel. The Gospel presence radiated through one of our most difficult journeys. Your hearts and spirits embraced the Gospel and we all stayed strong together. We are family.

Know that every Thursday during the summer I will release an Eblast Newsletter with updates you may need to know. The first edition of the  Thursday Summer Newsletter will be Thursday, May 28 ^th, 2020. That newsletter will address the Summer Zoom Schedule for Classrooms, drop off of books & tablets, pick up of possessions, Summer Reading Challenge, more play information (T-shirts have arrived. Questions? Contact Sue Pongratz at  monkeys5little@gmail.com.) and Auction Fundraising success figures.

On that note please join us in participating in the Live FB Auction Saturday evening. Have a Zoom party as Fr. Andrew hosts the Auction on FB. As of this Friday afternoon the Online Auction has already generated $53,580 in bids. Falcon Family, know it is because of you that this Auction is generating such amazing participation. You are being applauded. Take a bow Saturday night when the Auction closes out. You are most humbly deserving.
