PRINCIPAL’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

Christ is like a single body, which

has many parts; it is still one body, even

though it is made up of different parts.

For the body itself is not made up of

only one part, but of many parts.

1 Corinthians 12:12 & 14

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Can this be May?  Are we approaching the end of the year?  Where has the school year gone?  I have seen so much growth and development in our students this year.  In their academic pursuits, athletic endeavors, spiritual formation, and faith development, your sons and daughters have grown to be fine examples that we all can be proud of.  As the passage from above indicates, we are all parts of the body of Christ and together we can do so much. 

To all of the students and families, whether you are starting or ending your journey with us, we wish you good luck in your future and have a wonderful and safe summer.
