Mass Readings for Today

From the President's Desk

Dear Savio Family,


Homecoming Week, Homecoming Dance, Senior Retreat, PSAT Assessments, Accreditation Review ... a lot has been going on and I want to commend all faculty, staff, students, and parents for your collective engagement, support, and prayers for each other through it all. We are blessed with so much at our school and the momentum of hope, faith, and vision keeps us rolling forward.


Want to highlight a special event coming up next week on October 26th, the great Trunk and Treat and Eat and Treat tradition. This is a collective celebration where students and families from Holy Family enjoy food and activities together at the Pavilion and then come over to Savio and enjoy our service clubs and groups that provide games of fun, treats, music, and dance.  


This event is made possible by the outstanding and caring volunteers from the HFCS Parent Association, the Savio Parent Association, and the faculty, staff, and students from both schools. 


May God bless you each day and may we give thanks for all the blessings we receive.


Take care,


Tim

Principal's Message

Dear Savio Family, 


It has been an exhausting week but a blessed one. We had a very successful homecoming week, filled with school spirit, that was capped off by our Homecoming dance, attended by over 340 students. The night was filled with singing, dancing, and fellowship. Thank you to all of those parents, students, faculty and staff who worked so hard to make it a successful event. 


During this week we have had so many important events from accreditation, PSAT, college fair, and Senior Night for Volleyball. One of the highlights of the week for me, however, was being able to go up and spend some time with the seniors on Monday night at their retreat. Here at Savio we do so much for our students but the most important thing we try to do is lead them to Jesus. The retreat was a wonderful experience for our seniors to be reminded of the love of God and grow in relationship with Him. 


As always if you have any questions or are in need of any assistance please feel free to reach out. When we say we are a family here at Savio we mean it. 


Thank you and God Bless, 



Evan
