View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal Good morning! I hope you all had a very blessed and happy Christmas and New Year! We were able to donate 2 full car loads of toys (over 100 toys!) and to re-stock the Pan de Vida food pantry shelves during the Christmas season. Thank you for your generosity and for making a difference in our community! We are so excited to see the impact that we can have in 2025! Mrs. Castro donated a beautiful new mural to our school over Christmas break! Have you seen it? The center figure is, of course, St. Jane Frances de Chantal, holding the Sacred Heart, representing love. The Dove represents peace, the Host and Chalice representing Jesus' sacrifice, the Wheat Stalks represent our Rogationist priests, the Cross represents our faith, and the Lily represents joy and friendship. We will be doing re-registration toward the end of January as we are moving all of our information to Facts. Be on the lookout for that announcement :) If you know someone who is interested in joining our school next year (or have a sibling to enroll), applications for the 2025-26 school year are now open for families & friends!
