Be sure to check your chid’s backpack today.  First quarter progress reports were sent home.  That hardly seems possible.  I want to say thanks to the Ladies Guild for the left over ice cream from SausageFest.

Background There is growing excitement at St. Joan of Arc about the emerging relationship with the Dual Language Academy (DLA) of the Omaha Catholic Consortium. In the upcoming school year (2021-2022), we will take the first step in this journey by providing space for the DLA’s 150-175 students, and its innovative dual-language format.
