GOOD NEWS BEARS

Week of September 2, Vol 2, Issue 4

Dear St. David Families, 


As we step into September, a month of new beginnings and fresh opportunities, let us take a moment to reflect on the power of community. Just as the days grow a bit cooler, this month reminds us that together we can achieve great things.


Our theme this year, Bear Strong: Together We Achieve, is more than just a phrase—it's a commitment to supporting one another, sharing our strengths, and growing as a united community. Whether it's in the classroom, on the playground, or at home, we all play a vital role in nurturing the success and happiness of our students.


In the spirit of coming together, I'm thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Block Party! This event is a wonderful opportunity for us to connect, have fun, and celebrate the amazing community we are building together. Your presence and participation will make this event truly special. We also welcome any donations you can offer to help make the Block Party a success. Whether it’s a few snacks, drinks, or supplies, every contribution counts and adds to the spirit of togetherness that makes our school so special.


As we embrace this new month and all the promise it holds, let's remember that it's our collective effort that helps us grow stronger each day. I look forward to seeing you all at the Block Party and throughout the month as we continue to work together to make this school year one of our best yet.

Thank you for being such an important part of our St. David community.



Yours in faith,

Mr. Swanson & Ms. Medrano
