Dear Parents, 

We did it! Together with Christ we made it! Thank you to our students, staff, and parents for an amazing school year. Even with all of the extra challenges we faced, we were able to rise above and execute an extremely successful year. Our students challenged themselves and excelled academically, grew in their relationship with God, and learned how to persevere through unique situations. I am unbelievably proud of our students! Parents, thank you for your ongoing support and all of the prayers to help our community stay together. As we depart for the summer and eagerly await fun activities ahead, we very much look forward to welcoming everyone back in August and seeing the smiling, happy faces of our students, staff, and families. Relax and enjoy the summer =E2=80=94 we all deserve it!

Following His plan,
Mr. Garvey
