February Virtue: Prudence
Each month, the whole school focuses on the same virtue as we hope to grow closer to Jesus by imitating His life and virtues. We also learn more about the saints who exemplify these good habits. This month students are learning about the virtue of prudence. Please join them by modeling how you make good decisions in specific circumstances during the month of February.

This quarter, some of our middle school students are operating a school store. They are learning how to take inventory, markup items for profit, and manage the ins and outs of a business. The school store will be open every Wednesday during their elective class time. Items cost anywhere from 25 cents to $10. Please encourage your children to visit the school store! Kindly send in an envelope with money, marked with your child’s name and “School Store” so the middle schoolers know who to expect this week.
Each year ten local Catholic school teachers of the Archdiocese of Washington are honored as Golden Apple Award winners.
