Faculty Farewells

Sadly we will be saying farewell to some of our faculty at the end of this school year.  

Mrs. Michelle Cisik, our middle school English teacher, will be taking some time off to be available to spend more time with and assist her father.

Mrs. Michelle Clark, our Librarian, will be devoting her time to helping husband, Kevin, with his business.

Miss Annabelle Bugay, our Music teacher, is in the process of discerning a vocation to the religious life.

We will miss each of these outstanding teachers, and we are looking to fill each of these positions for the next school year. If you know of someone who may be interested, please have them contact the school.

The (rescheduled) Spring Clean up is THIS SATURDAY April 29 and VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!

Please sign up NOW!! Many hands make light work! Thank you!!
