Weekly School Broadcast We walk in the footsteps of Jesus during the Lenten season. Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th graders gathered in church today to pray the Stations of the Cross. A big thank you to the 4th graders for leading us! As the Lenten season continues, we also look forward to Spring Break vacation. This is a time for students and staff to take a pause and refresh themselves to stay strong for the last quarter of this school year! And what a year it has been! Students, staff, and families have shown tremendous teamwork in continuing to be safe while in-person! What a wonderful gift! Thank you everyone! God bless,Miss Heimer
