Advent Season has Begun at Catholic Academy
We are thrilled to bring back our long-standing tradition of the Advent Wreath, The entire student body starts the day with prayer and song around the Advent wreath. It is a wonderful opportunity to talk about the season of Advent and the birth of Jesus. December is also a time for giving. The 8th grade sponsored a food drive that was very successful. This year, the Assumption St. Francis Soup Kitchen, will be the beneficiary of all the food collected. Beh Meh, Director of the ENL program, has started a schoolwide thankful chain. The very colorful chain has individual messages on each link of what students, faculty and staff are thankful for. We are all connected in our appreciation of the school and the world around us. A beautiful and timely message during this special season. Preparations are underway for the Annual Christmas pageant, starring Kindergarten - Gr. 2. The show will be held on Monday, December 19th at 1:00pm. On behalf of the entire Catholic Academy family, we wish you a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!

March Brings Changes in Mask Mandate /Private Tours Available
CAWB is thrilled that the NYS mask mandate has changed due to low numbers of COVID 19 infection. We have instituted a phase-in approach so that families, teachers and staff can adjust to the new regulations. Starting Wednesday March 2nd, masks are optional if you are sitting. Once moving around the classroom or building, you must wear a mask. If we have no positive COVID tests in the school by Friday March 11th, masks become optional at all times, starting Monday, March 14th. We feel this approach will give everyone a chance to transition. Everyone is hopeful that we are moving back to a more normal school day. We will be starting private tours of the school for families wishing to enroll their children in 2022-23 school year. A traditional Open House will be scheduled for the Spring when it is safer for many visitors to the school. If you are interested in a tour, please contact Ellen Sullivan-Garcia at esullivangarcia@cawb,org or 716-885-8478. Tours can also be scheduled through the Main Office at 716-885-6111.
