JOIN US FOR ST. HELENA CATHOLIC SCHOOL'S REGISTRATION AND OPEN HOUSE—On Sunday,    February 5, after the Sunday Masses, doughnuts will be served at school, and they are on us. Come and see the newly refinished gymnasium floor. While you are there, check out the Middle School Science Fair projects. Stop in the Media Center and see the new iMac  computers. The staff will be in attendance, and all of the classrooms will be open. If you know someone who may be interested in a Catholic education, invite them to attend. A personal invitation goes a long way. This is our culminating activity for Catholic Schools Week. We hope to see you there.
