Leadership Message
In Catholic Education we follow Jesus, with sacrifice and service at the core of our daily decisions and actions. We are called to bring light into this world by being the light for other and we are called to share God's love by loving others.
When you look through this newsletter you can see many of gifts that our staff, students and parents share with others on a daily basis. We are so grateful for our amazing school community.
Dear God,
Each one of us is Your work of art,
We are all your children.
Help us to see the beauty in one another.
Help us to appreciate the many gifts we can offer to one another.
Help us to be the people you call us to be.
Amen.

A few reminders from our PSC:
The funds raised by the Big Box Fundraiser will be used to complete a legacy project that focuses on learning activities/enhancements in the library.
Want to use your skills and expertise to help enhance your child's school experience? Consider joining our small working group to help plan this enhancement project for our kids. Watch for more information on a meeting date for the collaboration meeting. Our goal is to bring our proposal for the project to the PSC meeting in March.
Other PSC Info:
At The February PSC meeting we are focusing on planning a year end event. Please join to have your say.
Lastly, if you have not picked up your box of cards please come to the school and report to the office to pick them up.
