Principal's Message
The season of Advent is a time of preparation. In the gospel of Mark 13:33-37, Jesus said to his disciples: “Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.”

How are you and your family preparing for the coming of Jesus?

Stewardship Project - December - Bucks for Bikes
December Stewardship Project
December 2 - December 11
Bucks for Bikes 

Our December Stewardship Project, in conjunction with St. George Church's Advent Giving Tree Ministry, is to earn “bucks” to buy a bike for a child or adult in need. Students are asked to perform an act of kindness at home to earn $3.00 to donate to this project. This stewardship project helps to understand the needs of those less fortunate.

Any funds leftover after bikes are purchased will be donated to St. George Church's Advent Giving Tree Ministry. Details regarding this ministry may be found below. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in helping to provide Christmas gifts for those in need.

For it is in giving that we receive. - St. Francis of Assisi
