Dear Parents/Guardians:
I pray that you all had a wonderful, restful holiday season. May God continue to bless you as we embark on this new year. We ended 2024 with a delightful event, our first gingerbread house decorating competition.
The students not only had a fantastic time, but they had the opportunity to use their reasoning skills and showcase their creativity. The winners will be posted on the awards board.
