From the Principals Desk

Dear SHS Families,


We had a great week at school and had some fun along the way. Thank you to all the parents and volunteers who help make our celebrations, like Trunk or Treat, fun for our students.


As part of my talk with students during Morning Opening. We talked about the excitement around Halloween and the effort and thought that it takes to choose what to wear and what you want to be that day. I challenge them to put the same effort into becoming what they were made to be, Saints. With the Feast of All Saints and All Souls approaching, it is the perfect time to reflect and draw inspiration from the lives of the Saints to help our students determine what God’s ultimate call for them should be.


Also, this weekend, clocks roll back on Sunday as Daylight Saving Time comes to an end. Make sure you roll your clocks back an hour.


If you haven’t already, RSVP to the Parent Mixer on August 13th. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there and having a great evening. See the sign up below for more details.


With the start of November, Grandparents/VIP Day is right around the corner. We will start taking numbers for our brunch soon. So be on the lookout.


With Faith & Hope,

Patrick (P.J.) Greer
