Dear SPC Families,
I think the Fall weather has finally arrived! What a blessing this warm weather has been these past few weeks. A reminder that students may wear shorts until October 13th.
Tomorrow, our teachers will gather for professional development to collaborate on instructional planning, committee work, SEL planning, and Catechetical training. I pray you all enjoy the four-day weekend,
Trivia Night, which is always a super fun evening, is around the corner! I hope you will join us in gathering with your friends in the SPC Gym for a great night of laughter and community! Tickets are now on sale here.
