NEWTOWN—Students at St. Rose of Lima in Newtown were met on their first day of school with a VIP greeting committee of Mr. Gjoka, Msgr. Weiss, Sr. Thaddeus and Mrs. Bokuniewicz. The campus was filled with welcome signs and balloons!
Students in K-4 arrived happily on Monday for a half-day and students in 5-8 arrived on Tuesday, also in good spirits.
Monsignor Bob and Mr. Gjoka visited every classroom to deliver a warm welcome message. Children had a chance for mask breaks at outdoor recess.
