Message from The Principal
|
Dear Parents:
As we continue through this busy month of May, we have paused to remember and celebrate mothers. How wonderful that we are able to share this month with the greatest mother of all-Mary, the mother of Jesus. Mary can be a great source of strength for us. As her children, we can go to her in prayer and ask for her motherly help. We teach our students to give honor to the Blessed Mother always, but especially during this month. Our student body gathered this week and said a decade of the rosary by her statue on the main floor and will again on Monday. You may want to consider saying the rosary as a family.
Blessings,
Phyllis Daily
Principal
