Note from Dr. Mullenschlader
Opening Day in St. Louis is always a great deal of fun and it's always better with a Cardinals winner! Go Cards!
Happy Easter! On Wednesday, Fr. Theby talked about how we can experience Jesus in three very special ways. The first being that we experience him in the scriptures. The second way was experiencing him in the Eucharist. The third way is experiencing him through people, particularly those people that need our love and care. These three ways exemplify our the mission of our school. My prayer for our students is that they can not only experience Jesus, but they can help others experience Jesus through their own lives. That is our mission acted out. As I reflect on our 8th graders, who get confirmed this weekend, who will take on a new role of leadership in the faith enlightened by the Holy Spirit.
Have a blessed weekend! Don't look how many days are left in the school year because it isn't that many. The end of the year will be here before you know it.
A couple of items of notes that are important concerning our calendar:
1. We are no longer going to have 2:15 pm release days on Fridays throughout the year.
2. We moved around the half day Professional Development days a bit to provide more consistency and provide a half day work day around report card time.
3. The updated 2024 - 2025 calendar is available below.
