From the Office of Steve Kelnhofer, PreK - 8th Grade Principal

Dear Parents,

 

Advent is the season to prepare for the coming of Christ. As we prepare, remember to set aside some time for silence; silence, is where we can meet our Lord.

 

At school, students are preparing by performing concerts, completing service projects and learning more about the season of Advent.  One of our biggest service projects is our Christmas card sale project for Brenna.  Please click here for more information on Brenna.

 

Please support our cause by purchasing a card or two at any Holy Family Mass the weekend of December 7th and 8th. Thank you!

 

Love and Logic Tip of the Week: Rash responses do little to teach. Empathy teaches empathy.

 

God Bless,

Steven Kelnhofer
