Principal's Corner
Dear parents and guardians,
What a joy it is to be able to celebrate some of the milestones such as May crowning, 8th grade graduation and Masses with our community. Personally, I feel I had taken all of these special events for granted. Seeing the students gather and pray with each other for morning prayer sets the tone for my day. Their pure joy filters out to each one of us like rays of sunshine. I’m so blessed to be a part of a community that genuinely cares and watches out for one another. I feel very fortunate to be able to share my faith and God’s mercy on a daily basis.

Let’s keep being merciful, kind and share grace with each other as the school year comes to an end. We have navigated this school year together, as a family. Let’s finish strong and in the words of one of my favorite songs, “Don’t stop Believing”!
Congratulations to our May students of the month: Coco, Lucas, Abby and Braeleigh! Read more about why they were chosen HERE.
God bless,
Mrs. Gipson

Spring Cleaning Garage Sale - Bring your STUFF!
Beginning this week - Wednesday through Friday - we will be accepting gently used items for garage sale donations. All proceeds will benefit the Drops of Hope Foundation - a foundation established by Fr. Chrysogonus to provide micro finances to students and families in his home village in Nigeria. Fr. Chrysogonus plans to build a future trade school in Nigeria which will offer business skills and promote independence to men, women and children.

If you have any gently used items that you would like to donate to the garage sale, please bring them and we will be happy to provide you a receipt for your tax purposes. Please come by the office with donations and Mr. Angel will find a place to store your items.
