PIC(S) OF THE WEEK!

WISE MEN SEEK THE BABY JESUS ....

AND WISE ADMINISTRATORS DECIDE ON A TRADITIONAL SNOW DAY! ;)

HAPPY 2022!

This week our students celebrated the Epiphany of Our Lord, and the ways in which Christ makes Himself known to the world! They learned about the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child and the JOY they had in recognizing He was a true king! This weekend we celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord, which is the official end to our Christmas season...

so technically, we did have a white Christmas!

Today's snow day has been the perfect end to a rather busy week at school. As you can imagine, reentry has had its share of challenges, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate illness and initiate learning from home.

I heard someone say today that snow is a sign of God's grace...

it covers everything and is reflective of His love for us.

This Friday reprieve will hopefully provide the "reset" that we need to enter into next week joyfully, remembering His unwavering love for us, even in the midst of our struggles.

Enjoy the long weekend.

Fly on the Wall

Heard by the fly near the first floor boys' bathroom yesterday at 1:30pm.

The boys seemed a bit rambunctious, most likely anticipating the possibility of a snow day.

Teacher: "Listen, boys, the day's almost over, but we still have A LOT left to do! "

Boys: "Awwww.... man!"
