The dance floor was packed at Prom Saturday night!
LETTER 
FROM  PRINCIPAL
SABLESKI
"See! The winter has past; the rains are over and gone and flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come!"

-Song of Songs 2: 11-12

Good Afternoon,

Could we have asked for a better weekend?!  It would be hard to deny the wonder of beauty of our Lord's work when we experience this beautiful weather.  Signs of spring are everywhere and many of us have the sunburns to prove it!  We had a perfect setting for Prom, and our kids seemed to be having a great time.  That being said, all of this great weather and good times made getting up for school this morning awfully tough.  Those who were fortunate enough to come in later after testing should certainly count their blessings!

I would be remissed if I did not thank those who made our Prom and After Prom events so successful.  Dr. Dickey and the junior class officers went above and beyond to put on the dance with every detail perfectly planned.   I cannot say enough about our junior and senior parents, led by Rita Donnelly, who worked countless hours and stayed up all night in order to put on a celebration in such a caring, safe, and fun environment.  There are too many of you to name, but know that your efforts were greatly appreciated.  Today is a great day to be a Patriot because of you!

Easter Blessings,
Matt
