Principal's Message 2nd Graders After May Crowning Our second grade classes led us at Mass this week for our May Crowning of our Blessed Mother, Mary. It was so wonderful to see some of our students wearing their First Holy Communion clothes while participating in the Mass, and we had a phenomenal school effort in bringing in beautiful flowers for each class to present in front of a statue of Mary before Mass. As we quickly approach the last few weeks of school for 2021-2022, let us always remember to stop and smell the roses so that we can fully enjoy this journey through life. May God be with you Always,
Dave Jenson
St. Pius X Principal
