All Things are Possible with Faith ~
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard
seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it
is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is
the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the
birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”
Matthew 13:31-32
When Jesus told this parable He compared it
to loving God. When children, like you, or adults begin to
love Jesus, their love is like a tiny mustard seed before it
is planted in the ground. It starts out very small at first
and when you keep on listening to what Jesus says and
obeying Him, then the love grows bigger and bigger. Soon it
will grow like the big mustard tree. May we all work
together to help cultivate the seed
in our children's hearts.
We
welcome Mrs. Ceci Guerrero and Mrs. Gladys Vital as our
Home and School Co-Chairs. Mrs. Guerrero has this year to
complete her tenure while Mrs. Vital is beginning her two
year term. We look forward to another wonderful year.

While your Room Parents are here to serve as liaison between Home
and School, you should address any serious concerns directly
to the Administration. Thank you for your support and
cooperation
We always
welcome and encourage volunteers at the school events.
Please remember that if you would like to participate in
school activities, you must have completed the Virtus
Training Program. Not sure what ‘Virtus Training’ is?
Please contact your Room Mom or any of the H&S Co-Chairs.
