Welcome Back to School

It was wonderful to have so many parents during our morning prayer. We want to thank you for joining us during coffee and catching up with all the summer activities.

Our eighth grade parents have the opportunity to volunteer and earn lunch credit for their child. Call the school office ASAP if you are interested. We only need one parent volunteer for lunch so the first parent to call will have the opportunity to work. You will start at 11:30 and end at 12:30.

You must be fingerprinted and attend the Virtus session before you volunteer for the lunch program.
