It's a gorgeous September day and thankfully it has cooled off some. We completed week one!
This morning at our first school prayer service we prayed for our school community that we have a safe, joyful, and healthy new school year for our community. We also offered a moment of silence for our country in remembrance of the 14th anniversary of September 11, 2001. It's hard for me to fathom that most of our student weren't even born prior to that date.
Last Night KG - 1 Parents were here for an important Back to School Night. KG Parents were back here this morning with our new KG students at an open house, as they prepare to start this Monday.
After the Prayer Service today presided by Msgr. Brouwers, I spoke briefly to grades 1 to 8 in church about how we need to be welcoming to all, how we need to take care of each other, and about their priorities: Faith, Family, and School. Then we held two separate town meetings (KG-4 and 5th - 8th) to review things that we as a school need to do in order for our school to run smoothly. I want to thank our teachers and staff for setting clear expectations to our students.
My gratitude as well to all those families who have contributed to Cradles to Crayons. The storage unit on Midland Avenue is near full! They were going pick up the unit today, but now it won't be till Monday. We will continue to accept donations through the weekend.
I hope to see you tonight at the Welcome Back to School Family Fun Night. I 'll be scooping water ice. It's one of my few talents! Remember to get your families to mass this weekend.
Have a nice weekend,
Bud
