Your Weekly Monday Memo – Monday, June 01, 2015
A MESSAGE FROM MRS. GENDALL Dear Parents,
Our school is buzzing with end of year activities. There are shows, parties and last Friday, our Eighth Graders had a beautiful graduation. As our graduates continue on their educational journey, we pray that the years ahead will be filled with Love, Peace, Happiness, and most importantly Faith.
We feel the natural excitement that comes from looking forward to a well-deserved rest for everyone. As we look forward to the summer, our minds and hearts overflow with a gamut of memories: successes, laughter, tears, triumphs, friendships, and above all, the on-going closeness with our dear Lord.
We are all teachers in the lives of our children and as such have a profound impact on them. Thank you for working with us so willingly and with such love, care, and dedication. St. James Cathedral School is truly a shinning example of a Christ centered community. Wishing you all a beautiful and safe summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovingly in Christ, Mrs. Gendall & Mrs. Helwig- May the Christ in you reach out to those you meet - May God bless you and keep you in His hands.
