Welcome, Lions, to a brand-new school year!
As we begin this year, our hearts are filled with immense gratitude and expectation. This year, our journey is anchored in our board’s spiritual theme: “ON FIRE WITH THE SPIRIT: Rejoice.” Inspired by the grace of Pentecost, we are called to awaken to God’s loving presence in our daily routines, illuminate our classrooms and homes through acts of kindness and academic excellence, and rejoice in the unique, God-given gifts each student brings to our school family while being centered in the true sense of rejoicing that comes from knowing that God is always with us. As partners in your child’s faith and education, we look forward to walking alongside you in a year filled with discovery, community, and the transformative joy of the Holy Spirit.
May the Holy Spirit ignite our hearts with wisdom, patience, and joy as we embark on this exciting path together. We pray that God’s abundant grace protects and guides our students, inspires our dedicated staff, and wraps our families in peace throughout the coming year. May our school always be a beacon of His love, where every member of our community feels cherished, supported, and truly blessed.
Peace,
Tara Cakebread, Principal

God who is love,
Love is our calling, and the goal for which you have made us.
As we celebrate the beginning of our new school year,
may our love in action reveal to our world
that we are people of justice and mercy.
May our daily words and example show clearly
that we are people of faith and hope.
In the ways we reflect you daily,
may everyone recognize us as people of joy.
Help us to never forget how much you love us,
and to cherish your life within us,
which gives energy and direction to our loving.
May we hear your call to love generously and inclusively,
and may we call our world to be more loving also.
All of this we ask in the name of Jesus, our Friend and our Lord.
Amen.
