Hello and welcome to the new week!

Families & Friends,

In the coming week we enter the peak of our Holy Season. All the hard work of our Orthodox community in keeping the fast, and attending services will be richly rewarded at Pascha. In this season we have yet another symbol of education. Students of all ages must work hard to reap the benefits of truth and wisdom. As we celebrate the incredible gift we have in Christ's overcoming of death, please know our school body has so much to be thankful for. In the coming break many of us will be reflecting on a beautiful year making memories on campus, at field trips, and together in worship. Let's enjoy this season of rich gifts.
