Happy Easter!
As we continue our Holy Week observances, beyond the celebrations of Palm Sunday and Easter, we recognize the hope of the Resurrection and the promises of newness and life. Only in walking through the shadows of Holy Week, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, can we truly understand the light and hope of Easter Sunday morning. The faith journey we take through the observances of Holy Week serve to remind us of the significance of new beginnings. On behalf of our students, faculty and staff we wish each of you Easter blessings of joy and peace!
Foundation Gala Updates!
With the approach of our 4th Annual Gala, we are pleased to announce that our honoree and recipient of the very first "Spirit of a Saint" award will be presented to Archbishop George Leo Thomas. We are most grateful for his leadership and the incredible support of our school community. In addition, we will also recognize our amazing Legacy donors and benefactors, those who have made this amazing school a reality. We look forward to celebrating with all of you on this special evening!
A Few Gala Updates:
- We now have a page dedicated to all of our Foundation Gala Event News and Updates. Here you will find links to purchase tickets, sponsorship opportunities, details on class baskets, raffle prizes and more!
- Our thanks to all who have graciously contributed to our class baskets—it's your support that truly makes a difference.
- Saints, let's keep the momentum going by selling those raffle tickets! Don't forget, you can earn TWO free dress passes for every 10 tickets sold. You won't have to wait for those passes either - the day you turn in your 10 tickets - you will receive your passes for immediate use.
- We continue to actively seek additional sponsors. If you or someone you know has ties to businesses within our community and would like to secure advertisement space in our program, please let us know. The sponsorship deadline is April 4th.

Life Skill of the Week
Our Life Skill for this week will focus on "Problem Solving: seek solutions in difficult situations." If you strive to be a Life Long Learner you will naturally become a great problem solver. Always challenge yourself to learn new things and be to open to new experiences. This will put you on the path of continuous growth and provide you with new tools to help face anything that comes your way. Face each problem as an opportunity!
The APEX results are in! Way to go Saints!!
