Celebrating the Gift of Catholic Education
As we celebrated Catholic Education Week this week, we have highlights from students, parents, staff, and clergy that share the essence of who we are. What prevails from every message is the hope and joy of seeing every child as a "masterpiece". Thank-you parents for choosing Catholic Education and entrusting us with your children. It is a blessing and privilege to walk with each of them on their faith and learning journeys every day.
Let all that you do be done in love. Corinthians 16:14
Blessings,
Mrs. Boehm
