Principal's Message 5th graders at Eagle Bluff Most of our 5th grade class spent three days at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center this week. This opportunity is another example of how our school looks to promote the growth of the whole child, and what better way than through some outdoor experiential learning! While it could have been a little warmer, every student that I asked about it had a similar response: "it was awesome!" This may speak to the beautiful location down near Lanesboro, but I think it is more indicative of the friendships that have developed and also some new experiences that our students had on their field trip. As we look ahead to the final five weeks of school, may we be aware of the ways that Christ works within all of our hearts, and share His love with the world. May God be with you Always,
Dave Jenson
St. Pius X Principal
