A NOTE FROM MRS. BORDO

Faith in Action  Makes Ordinary Extraordinary   “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” I Corinthians 1 0:31b Dear Parents, Thank you to all who attended the All-School Chapel . I love it when students from all three of our campuses have the opportunity to gather and worship! It is so important for the little ones to see the students from the upper school campus sharing their faith, gifts, and talents. And, it’s also a great opportunity for the older students to turn around and bless the younger ones. Enjoy a video clip and photos from the event in the link below. Sincerely, Mrs. Bordo Wexford Campus Principal

2019 All-School Chapel Elementary students sang a song to honor and appreciate our wonderful grandparents. And, Mr. Kolarik reminded us - students, staff, parents, and grandparents - that whatever we do, big or small, can be done for the glory of God! Enjoy photos at Eden's SmugMug

IMPORTANT NOTE

Health Reminder If your child has been ill, please remember that they should be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
