Schindler's List - August 26, 2013

Welcome to the second (or let me rephrase) third week of school!  Last week was GREAT!  It is so wonderful to see how everyone is getting into the "swing" of this thing we call school! We have many less sleepy kids (and might I add teachers and staff) coming to school!  It's always funny at the beginning of school that we hurry up and wait when it comes to full weeks of school!  This is a short week due to our Aquinas Catechetical Institute on Thursday and Friday and Monday is our Labor Day holiday!  You all deserve a little break after your had work over the past few weeks!  Rest Well!
