Mrs. Deanna Smillie's Happenings

Our 8th Grade continues to prepare for Confirmation.  We have a retreat for Confirmation scheduled on March 22.  We will leave the school at 8:15 in the morning, and the meeting at Camp Ondessonk begins at 9:00.  The students will be required to bring a sack lunch for the day.  We will be at Camp Ondessonk until approximately 2:15.  Each student will be responsible to pay $15.50 for the retreat, and it is held in the St. Noel Dining Hall. 

There are 21 students participating from OLMC, 12 from PSR, and possibly 5 from Holy Spirit in Carterville.  I will need volunteers to help drive.  Mrs. Myatt said that in the past, parents usually bring a book to read while they relax.   She also said that they have gone on nature walks at lunch break.  There is a permission slip that will need to be returned with the $15.50.  The payment needs to be made to OLMC so that one check can be sent from the school to pay Camp Ondessonk. 

I am looking forward to our day.  This will be a new learning experience for me, too.   Please let me know if you would like to drive and stay with us for the day.

Sincerely,
Deanna Smillie
