This week is progressing well. We had 2 all school Masses and everyone participated reverently. Our new Parish Music Directors, Trae & Kelsey Blanco, have led us in learning some new worship songs and responses. I want to thank all the families for reading emails, clicking links in messages, and following directions. Thursday, August 18th is our first full day. We will dismiss at 3PM. Remember to wait until 2:45PM to come to the school.
