“Peace be with you all! Beloved brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd who has given his life for the flock of God. I, too, would like this greeting of peace to enter your hearts, reach your families, to all people, wherever they may be, to all peoples, to all the earth. Peace be with you!” - Pope Leo XIV
I am truly amazed and grateful for the outpouring of treasures and treats we received from our families during teacher appreciation week. We felt so loved and valued. Thank you Krista Baumeister for all of your help coordinating our staff room treats. Teacher Raffles were a huge success, we raised more this year without it being connected to the Carnival, thank you to Kristie Slaasted for coming in daily to sell tickets and help with the announcements.
