I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish all families a peaceful New Year. Our school will continue to provide the best Catholic Education for your child as we start another year.
I have been blessed to work with so many dedicated teachers who are positive and great students who understand the meaning of forgiveness. Students continue to treat each other with respect and when there are issues, the adults listen to them and redirect or explore better choices. This process of continued support and understanding with Christian values must be part of their everyday language and modeled by the adults they come in contact with. The luxury we have of our community working together and upholding our Christian values for the good of everyone is very rewarding. I thank many of our parents who are supportive and make this a great school.
