Throughout our district during Lent, schools are participating in Lenten activities
that remind our students of the importance of sacrifice, generosity and compassion.
Our duty as teachers and parents is to teach our children that Christ’s
sufferings were meant to create a better world. Lent, this holiest of liturgical
seasons, gives us the opportunity to talk with our children about where life’s
journey has already taken us with Christ and how we hope to grow as Christians
in the future. Through prayer and reflection we unite as families and school
communities in a journey of hope and promise:
“Prayer is a rising and a drawing near to God in mind and in heart,
and in spirit.”
The month of March is also the time when students in Grades 6 and 9 and their
parents begin making the important decision of where to attend junior and senior
high school. I encourage parents and students to participate in Open Houses
and learn about the many choices available in our district. You will find a
complete list of Open
Houses  and
information sessions on our web site.
We ask God’s blessing on our students, staff, and parents as we journey
through this special season.
Sincerely,
Joan Carr
Superintendent
