St. Thomas More School News
"God's mercy is so abundant, and his love for us is so great, that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God's grace that you have been saved."
(Ephesians 2:4-5)
Dr. Tyrrell Maternity Leave
Dear St. Thomas More School Community,
As many of you may already know, my husband Joe and I are expecting our second baby during the month of May! Because of this beautiful blessing, I will be taking some time off to welcome our baby girl into the world and bond together as a new family! My leave will begin on Friday, May 3rd, and during that time, Interim Principal Mr. Drew Mulloy will be here working with our community to keep our school running smoothly through the end of the school year. Rest assured I will be returning next school year, and I look forward to continuing to serve the St. Thomas More School Community. GRACE will ensure the school is well cared for during by absence. We appreciate your prayers and well wishes as we transition to a family of four!
Thank you and God Bless,
Dr. Tyrrell
