From the Principal's Desk
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
While many today view St. Patrick as the stuff of legend, like leprechauns and pots of gold, he was, in fact, a very real and very humble missionary. Asked often about his incredible work in bringing the faith to Ireland, St. Patrick remarked "it is only by God's gift that I diligently and most willingly did all of this."
As we look ahead to the weekend, let us strive to live by St. Patrick's wise words, giving thanks for the great workings of God in our lives.

In order to participate in our read-a-thon, you'll need to activate your reader's personal page.

You can activate the account by going to https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/rScpHR/1 and following the simple instructions
We've chosen Read-a-thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child another reason to read, and helps to develop of stronger reading skills. With this in mind, we hope everyone participates!
