Good morning St. Athanasius Families,

"Every true disciple of Christ is a member of his family. However, we will lose our Christians identity whenever we hate other people. We will lose our resemblance of God whenever we fail to love as Jesus loved. We will cease to represent Christ in the world whenever we hate our neighbors, friends and other people.

He came to save all who are ready to do the will of God. Satan has no power! Through his grace, and allowing him to work through us, we can do God's work. Through faith and obedience to God’s will, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. We are all members of his family.

Yours in Christ,

M. Bradwell

Good morning Parents/Guardians,

This is the last week of school, and summer is in the air! When I look back, and reflect on this school year, remembering all of the events, learning, celebrations, successes, and challenges that have occurred, I am reminded of the Footprints in the Sand poem by Ryan Hart, and I thank God for watching over our school community.

We had exciting trips, and wonderful assemblies, however, the Lord could not shield our school from the trials and tribulations that are prevalent in the society we live in. But my God carried us through so that we as a faith-based school may continue our mission to educate our children, and nurture their relationship with God.

Let us continue to work together to strength our community because divided, we cannot stand. St. Athanasius School is blessed by God, and I will continue to do his work as a servant leader. Much has been achieved by our scholars this year, and we will continue to find new ways to accomplish the mission and vision of the school as we look ahead to the new school year.

Thank you parents and guardians for allowing us to be a part of your family. If you have not received your scholar's summer assignment, please reach out to their teacher. We will send Option C updates to families during the summer.

God bless, and keep you safe,

Mrs. Mona. Bradwell
