August 2023
Dear Crusader Families,
We have completed our first full week of school! The heat tried to give us a run for our money, but we survived! Many thanks for all of the flexibility, patience, and support as we maneuvered the heat this week. The staff is excited to see cooler temperatures next week!
Today, all K-8 students were able to attend the Eucharistic Miracles exhibit in the Gym. The students learned all about Blessed Carlo Acutis and the Eucharistic Miracles that were performed.
The Eucharistic Miracles exhibit will be open all weekend and on Monday, August 28. All are welcome to attend at any time. The cost is free.
To learn more about Blessed Carlo Acutis and the Eucharistic Miracles, please view the information below. Many thanks to Jerry Robinson, Director of Evangelization, for providing coloring books to all of the Kindergarten-4th grade students to help learn about Blessed Carlo Acutis and for inviting the Eucharistic Miracle exhibit to attend St. Francis de Sales Parish!
As always, thank you for all you do to support the school!
Gratefully,
Sarah Bitzer
Principal
