Dear Savio Family,
We are now into the month of October, which means that many stores enter the "multiverse of seasons" as they put out Halloween candy and costumes, Fall decorations, and early signs of Christmas items all at once.
With so much pressure to "prepare the way" for these festivities, it is understandable that additional pressure is placed on all of us to respond or ignore these marketing strategies.
As Savio moves through the remainder of the first quarter and transitions to the second quarter of the year, we also present items for your attention, review, and discernment. Report cards, various school activities, and the annual appeal are a few that come to mind.
Please know we respect your time, your resources, and your schedules with all of these things. We hope you know that part of our responsibility is to "tell the story" of how your child is doing via open houses, conferences, and grade cards. We need to "tell the story" of our service projects, retreats, the arts and clubs. We need to "tell the story" of our annual fund appeal as it is a key funding source for all that we do at Savio.
So, let's all take a collective moment, breathe in peaceful and calming thoughts, and somehow juggle all of this while trying to live one day at a time. Reach out to others when you need help or clarification. Helps others who reach out to you. And instead of shopping for holiday stuff tonight, come on over to Savio to hear our excellent musicians at the concert that starts at 7 pm. It will save you money and help us celebrate our talented musicians at the same time!
Take care and God bless.
Tim
