2020-2021 Yearbook Club is Looking for Photos! |
Do you have photos from quarantine birthday parties, community service projects, parish involvement, zoom sessions, first day photos, First Communion or special memories? We'd love to include them in our Yearbook!
We are also looking for positive memories from your family! This could be about the time you spent in quarantine, during distance learning, or even over the summer break. Write a few sentences about your positive memory and be sure to add your family's name. We know life has given us challenges, but good always finds a way through a tough situation! Please send any and all photos to Janess Sifers at yearbook@serraschool.org.

We are currently working to help connect St. Serra families who are interested in carpooling to and from school. We know your time is valuable - carpooling will keep the drop-off and pick-up lines shorter, save gas, give you back a bit of time each week (and your kids may even make some new friends!). Let us help you connect with other interested families. Email us at:
