All volunteers are required to complete the "Virtus Training" (Protecting God's Children). For more information on the schedule for upcoming training sessions, please visit

Dear Parents,
I want to say thank you for your support and for joining us for last night's Back to School Night! It was a significant step toward ensuring your child's success for the upcoming school year! "Parents as Partners" is what has distinguished our faith-based school community for 60 years. Many thanks to our HSA for hosting this lovely evening.
Let us take a moment to pray for all the families impacted by the the hurricane's in the south, and
for all those involved in the "vital work of relief and recovery.
And importantly, please take a few minutes to reflect and pray for all those lost on September 11, 2001, and for the families who continue to feel the loss resulting from that tragic event.
