WELCOME
BACK TO SCHOOL

Thank you all for an amazing first week back at school! It has been so wonderful to have our school family back together again after a long and beautiful summer. Our students and staff seem to be happy, energized and looking forward to a year filled with faith-filled learning. Our school family will be complete come Tuesday, as we welcome our preschoolers to the fold!

I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday and/or Thursday evening to celebrate our accomplishments and make plans for a successful school year.

Have a wonderful long weekend and God bless-
Mrs. Russo

Our school grounds have experienced major renovations throughout the summer months... have you noticed our grotto? A tremendous amount of gratitude goes to Kyle Viera (grade 8) and Scout Troop 333 out of St. John Neumann's Church for leading a complete face lift for our wonderful prayer space! Hoping to open the grotto soon for prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament!
Click here to express your interest in helping by covering an hour of adoration with our students. We have so much to be thankful for!
This space will be used to request parental support and volunteerism at school!
Thank you for considering how you can help... it takes a village!
Our annual WELCOME BACK ASSEMBLY was once again a BIG HIT! Our school theme was launched and our teachers danced to "GRACE GOT YOU" by MercyMe.
