From the Principal

O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry come to you.

Psalm 102

Hello Everyone!


Please keep our 8th graders and their teachers in your prayers tomorrow as they travel to Springfield.  Let’s hope the weather cooperates.

Thank you to all the parents and guardians who attended Parent Teacher Conferences last Thursday.  Students will be so much more successful when parents and teachers connect and communicate.


Thank you to all who attended Trivia Night last week.  This popular event provided an opportunity for our families and parishioners to have fun together while raising over $3000 for the school.  Special thanks to our MC - Mr. Bob Reiser, and many, many thanks to a wonderful group of teachers (Mrs. Willing, Mrs. Ewig, Mrs. Tagbo, Mrs. Letica, Ms. Brogmus, Mrs. Buechele, Ms. Rucinski, and Ms. Kontos) for all their hard work in organizing this event.  SES teachers are the best!

Congratulations to the following students who have achieved a place on our 3rd Quarter Honor Roll.  I am very proud of what they have accomplished in the classroom.
