A Moment for Mission
“Never cease to cultivate this vine that has been entrusted to you.
After that, leave the rest to God, to work wonders at the time that God finds best.”

A Note from the President |
|
Hello!
It is a pleasure to be sending our first communication of the 2023/24 year! I hope you take a minute to see the wonderful updates that have taken place on campus over the summer. With the success of last year’s Fund-a-Need at the auction, we’ve been able to update the look and furnishings of the Library, Campus Ministry and Counseling spaces. They are now much more inviting and comfortable.
With new (and returning!) coworkers settling in, Viaggion Days taking place, dance team practice and volleyball … the energy is building and we’re ready for a great year. To Sophomore and Junior parents, if you see some new faces among you, they will be parents of the 17 transfers joining us this year. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome.
I hope you will participate in the many activities that are planned and become involved in the Bear Moms and Fathers’ Club. These groups provide opportunities for new friendships
and a chance to swap useful parent information. Please see more information and a sign-up link below.
More to come later. For now … enjoy those last few summer days … we look forward to seeing you very soon!
