Dear SVDP Community,
We hope all of you had a beautiful Easter. This week our virtue is Prayerfulness which is the practice of praying often and sincerely. There is a lot of activity between now and the end of the year, we all need to practice not being distracted whether from prayer, class time, or family.
Reminder: We will be starting the process of tuition contract preparation on Monday, April 15th. Please make sure that your volunteer service is logged through SchoolSpeak by Monday at 8:00am.
Tuition contracts will be distributed digitally on Friday, April 26th via DocuSign.
