Week in Review:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
God is Good all the time, all the time God is Good! What a week it has been! As we continue to move through this Easter season, it is such a blessing to see the joy of Easter so clearly present on the faces of our students. The smiles and laughter can be seen all day every day and their dedication to learning and growing in faith are abundantly clear. As we approach the end of the school year, please pay close attention to dates and events. There is so much going on at our school in the next month, and we don’t want you to miss anything. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact the school. May God continue to bless you all and guide you with His Love and Grace. Please continue to pray for our school and its students, and I pray that your Easter season is filled with blessings, love, and joy!
