Words with Wilson

A short week means a short column!  I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  There are many blessings in my life, and being the principal of St. Roch Catholic School is at the top of my list.  Thank you for sharing your children with me, and for all of the support and love you show me throughout the year. Enjoy your family time and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
