A Note from the Interim Principal
Dear Families,
Happy Monday! The students are excited and energetic today! We had an exciting morning assembly today with our Pot O' Gold recognitions followed by a short talk and prayer with Dan Duet, the Lenten Series Speaker sponsored by HFCC. Mr. Duet focused on 1 John 4:19: "We love because He first loved us". Students --- and even a parent --- volunteered the ways in which we express our love. Mr. Duet challenged all of us to keep that verse in our hearts throughout this week and the season of Lent. May this verse also touch your heart in the week to come.
Blessings,
Veronica Tucker
