Dear Parents,
Happy Halloween!
Our hallways were a burst of imagination today—students and staff brought their A-game with creative, clever, and joy-filled costumes. From inflatable costumes to heroes and villains, the spirit on campus was contagious. Thank you to families for helping students dress appropriately and respectfully while still having fun—it made the day festive and focused. I think we may have some future makeup artists based on the talent I witnessed today.
One of our favorite traditions continued this morning as we opened our doors to West Deanery preschool and kindergarten students for trick-or-treating. Our Big Sis Little Sis program students decorated the hallways with twinkle lights and many, many Halloween decorations. They helped the little ones walk through our Haunted Hallways, and Mrs. Hoy ended their time with us with a Halloween story and some special treats. Our teachers handed out candy with help from students in their classes. Moments like these remind us that we are one Catholic community, growing together in joy and virtue.
This Thursday night we will welcome interested families to our Open House. If you know a family who is looking for an excellent, faith-filled education, invite them to attend our Open House from 6-8 p.m. Visitors will receive a guided campus tour from our student ambassadors, have a chance to talk with teachers, coaches, and club moderators, and learn more about our special programs like CNA, pharmacy tech, HVAC, and much more.
Have a wonderful weekend!
In Christ’s Peace,
Kari Jost, Principal

Queridos padres:
¡Feliz Halloween!
Hoy nuestros pasillos fueron un estallido de imaginación—los estudiantes y el personal trajeron su mejor energía con disfraces creativos, ingeniosos y llenos de alegría. Desde disfraces inflables hasta héroes y villanos, el espíritu en el campus fue contagioso. Gracias a las familias por ayudar a los estudiantes a vestirse de manera apropiada y respetuosa mientras se divertían; eso hizo que el día fuera festivo y, a la vez, enfocado. Creo que podríamos tener algunos futuros artistas del maquillaje, basándome en el talento que vi hoy.
Esta mañana continuamos una de nuestras tradiciones favoritas al abrir nuestras puertas a los estudiantes de preescolar y kínder de las escuelas del Decanato Oeste para el “trick-or-treating.” Nuestro programa de Big Sis Little Sis decoró los pasillos con luces brillantes y muchas, muchas decoraciones de Halloween. Ayudaron a los pequeños a caminar por nuestros “Pasillos Embrujados,” y la Sra. Hoy concluyó su visita con un cuento de Halloween y algunos dulces especiales. Nuestros maestros repartieron caramelos con la ayuda de los estudiantes de sus clases. Momentos como estos nos recuerdan que somos una sola comunidad católica, creciendo juntos en alegría y virtud.
Este jueves por la noche daremos la bienvenida a las familias interesadas en nuestro Open House. Si conoce a una familia que busca una educación excelente y llena de fe, invítelos a asistir de 6:00 a 8:00 p.m. Los visitantes recibirán un recorrido guiado por el campus de parte de nuestros embajadores estudiantiles, podrán conversar con maestros, entrenadores y moderadores de clubes, y conocer más sobre nuestros programas especiales como asistente de enfermería (CNA), técnico en farmacia, HVAC y mucho más.
¡Les deseo un maravilloso fin de semana!
En la paz de Cristo,
Kari Jost, Directora
