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, The Wexford Campus thoroughly enjoyed our time celebrating grandparents! Preschool and Kindergarten classes had special activities and a time of sharing with their special guests. Grades 1-6 hosted a program for all grandparents in the South Venue where we showered love and blessings on them. We even got a little advice from our grandparents thanks to our sixth grade class! Enjoy photos from the events in the link below. Sincerely, Mrs. Bordo Wexford Campus Principal

Grandparents Day 2019 Students honored and appreciated grandparents and family members at very special celebrations! Enjoy photos at Eden's SmugMug
