Great Response at the Parent/Staff Meeting

I would like to thank everyone who attended last night’s meeting. There were more than 100 people in attendance. The enthusiasm, positive energy, suggestions, and offers of support were up-lifting. Channel 6 coverage was also another positive. We thank Mrs. Kelly Razzano for contacting Channel 6. The next challenge is to take this positive energy and translate it into action.

What’s next?

The School Board will meet on February 2nd, consider your input and prepare a recommendation to be submitted to the Diocese on February 9th.

How you can help.

Pray that the Holy Spirit guides us and provides us with the strength to do God’s will as we meet the challenges we face.

Attend Thursday’s Committee Meeting (see sign-up below).

Demonstrate your commitment to a Catholic Education by attending the January 31st, 11:00am, Catholic Schools Mass at St. Patrick’s Church

Please complete and return to the school office.

Family Loses Their Home to Fire
One of our families lost their home to a fire on Sunday, December 20th. Fortunately no one was injured. They were placed in a motel by the Red Cross. The outpouring of prayers, toys, household items and cash from our school community was outstanding. They will be moving from a local motel to an apartment soon.
