Principal’s Updates

December 29th

Dear Lord, thank you for this opportunity to start fresh in the oncoming New Year. We know that we are so blessed and we pray for strength to get through the hardest parts of the year ahead. We thank you for your ongoing love and pray that should temptation stumble upon our path, that we can simply look away, remembering and desiring every goal that we set. As we get closer to this New Year, we ask that you keep us safe. In your name we pray, Amen! School will be re-opening on Monday, January 6th. Please join us on Wednesday for our monthly school mass beginning at 8:45AM in St. Ignatius Martyr Church. A reminder to our school parents to be sure to send in your family pictures for our school collage that is located in our main hallway. Wishing everyone joy, peace and happiness in this New Year!
