SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO

Everything You Want to Know

Week of June 12, 2023

 

FROM THE PRINCIPAL:

Thanks for an amazing school year!  It’s hard to believe we only have a few days left in our 2022-23 academic year! We have been more than blessed and are excited for a summer of rest so that we can come back ready to learn and grow yet again.  

As I reflect back on this past year, I want to extend a huge “Thank You” to Father Richard Thompson, the faculty, staff, students and their families for an amazing school year!  Each day has brought new adventures for us all and I cannot wait to see all that 2023-24 will bring for our parish and school community.

One new feature for our parish and school will be our PreK program! Here’s a sneak peek into what our old cafeteria will look like in September:

 

 

In closing, I want to leave you with a prayer: Lord, keep a close eye on us as we head into summer.  Keep us safe, share with us our fun memories, and help us to be thankful for good times spent with our families.  Amen!
