FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Mead Hall families,

This Sunday we celebrate the mission and life of Mead Hall Episcopal School during the

services at St. Thaddeus Church. Please join us for one of the three services this Sunday that will

celebrate our church and school’s faith life and commitment to education that promotes

academic excellence, spiritual growth and moral integrity. I also hope that you will gather

together with families from church and school at the pancake breakfast for a time of fellowship

this Sunday. Please see the information below about the times of the services, the pancake

breakfast, book fair, and the dress down for students who attend Mead Hall Sunday.

I hope that our gathering together this Sunday will express the life and the work of the Church

and give us a vision of the fullness of our ministry as church and school, by God’s amazing

grace.

In Christ,

Frank Sawyer
