Message from The Principal
|
Dear Parents,
Our academic excellence is well known-but the caring, sharing and Christian actions of students and staff often go unseen.
Daily I observe students encouraging a struggling reader, comforting an injury and giving a high five for an athletic achievement
We are Blessed.
In Christ,
Phyllis Daily, Principal
CSA Reminder: Again we are asked to support the diocese with our pledge. Your generosity and prompt reply is appreciated. Many diocesan programs benefit from CSA including our SCHOOL.
