LETTER 
FROM  PRINCIPAL
SABLESKI

Love is patient, love is kind. (1 Corinthians 13:4)

This passage from Paul's letter is one of the most quoted in the Bible.  It is a call to action for all of us to act with kindness and compassion to all those we encounter.  It is a tall order to be sure, but we are gifted in Christ with the power to love as he loves, to be patient as he is patient, and to share his kindness with everyone around us.

I see acts of patience and kindness every day here at Carroll as students, teachers and parents lift each other up and work for the greater good.  I feel blessed to work in a community where so many people allow the Holy Spirit to guide their actions and live out God's call.

It's a great day to be a Patriot!
