Welcome Back!


When this newsletter hits your inbox we’ll be halfway through the first day of the 2022-2023 school year!  Thank you for sharing your child with us this year and trusting us with your child’s education.  We are so grateful to be a part of your child and family’s journey in faith and knowledge!



8th Grade Retreat Date


Our 8th grade retreat to Camp U-Nah-Li-Ya has been moved to October 19-21, 2022.  Our original dates coincided with a day off of school for students and in-service for staff.  We look forward to this fun, leadership building experience for our 8th graders.  Stay tuned for more information as the trip date approaches.  If you are an 8th grade parent who is interested in chaperoning this overnight retreat, please reach out to Mr. Casey Siegler.
