1 Titan Times April 6, 2016 Volume 10, Issue 27 Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students. Dear Parents: Welcome back! I hope you all had an enjoyable and restful Easter break and that you were able to recharge your batteries for the final two months of the school year. And yes, the fence has finally arrived and is up around the Milford Main building. Let the demolition begin! Other than losing a few more parking spots, things should be as close to normal as they can be. It is time to notify your child s grandparents that Grandparents Day is right around the corner, Wednesday, May 4. This is also our May Crowning for the Seton Campus so the mass will be extra special. After mass, the grandparents and grandkids will have until 11:30 to visit the classrooms, enjoy a snack in the cafeteria, and to take some time in the book fair. It promises to be a great day. Between now and the end of the year there are numerous activities / events taking place at both campuses. Please be sure to check the school calendar on a regular basis.
