A Message from the Headmaster
|
|
Dear Aggie Families,
Thank you so much for your prayers for the Sanmiguel family. With great resilience, little Javi is finding comfort in his routine as a kindergarten student.
Besides the many family members and friends who have stepped forward to get Javi back and forth to school each day, n
umerous others have asked how they can be of assistance. We have a couple of ways you can help:
Scholarship Funding
We have set up a Javier Sanmiguel (+) Scholarship fund in memory of Mr. Sanmiguel. If you would like to donate to the fund,

.
Providing Food
Family members and friends have set up a
meal train
to provide dinner for the Sanmiguels in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Please continue to pray for the Sanmiguel family. They are so grateful for the support they have received from our Saint Agnes School community.
Blessings to your family,
Kevin Ferdinandt
Headmaster

Volunteers New to Saint Agnes: E3/VIRTUS Updates
If you are a new volunteer to Saint Agnes and have E3/VIRTUS completed, but come from another Archdiocesan location, you will need to check your E3 compliance for volunteering at Saint Agnes. Background Checks and the school-required MN BCA 123B report are “owned” by each location. Saint Agnes would need your signed release in order to get access to the information. This can take 1-2 weeks to process. Please
visit the school website
for further details.
