Precious Resurrection Art Message from the Principal It will be a cold and windy finish to this Holy Week leading up to the resurrection of Jesus. We celebrate the triumph of good over evil and sin. Our students were able to walk through Jesus's last day during our Stations of the Cross through the past month as we prepare for His rise. We are very blessed to be able to celebrate and live out our faith in this community! I pray you all have a blessed Easter Holiday with family and friends. We begin the final 7 weeks of school when we return Tuesday! God Bless, Andy Poterucha Principal, St. Francis of Assisi School |
