God our Father, help us to remember and be thankful for all that we have. 8:30 am 11:30 to 12:30 3:00 pm October is one of the most beautiful months of the year. It is a time of wonderful, natural colors which live in our memory throughout the dark, winter months. The changes which occur remind us of the many outstanding things which God has created. It is a time of thanks for all the blessings which are bestowed upon us. Thanks to all the parents who came to visit the school and met the teachers on the evening of September 21st. Your presence sends an important message of commitments and support to your child(ren) and to the staff in terms of the home/school partnership. May God bless us all as we work together to guide and motivate the children entrusted to us. G. Consitt Principal M.
