GOOD NEWS BEARS

Week of September 9, Vol 2, Issue 5

Dear St. David Families,

In our fourth week of the school year, we continue to embrace our theme, Bear Strong: Together We Achieve. Let us take a moment to reflect on the significance of September 11 in our nation's history. It is a time to honor the lives lost and recognize the strength that comes from working together as a community. Some of us may have been still in school on this day, and our students did not experience the collective shock that we all felt. In remembering this day, we are reminded of the importance of compassion, service, and unity. Let us continue to teach our children the value of lifting each other up.

SCHOOL PICTURE DAY REMINDER

Don't forget--School Picture Day is Tuesday, September 10th! All students should be int heir full school uniform for the day. Envelopes and information should have gone home with your students on Friday. Check those backpacks (and maybe desks) if yours didn't come home.

Yours in faith,

Mr. Swanson & Ms. Medrano
