This year the week of June 24-28th we are inviting in a Totus Tuus team from the Wichita Diocese.  The 1st-6th grade (2013-14 grade) will go from 9-3PM Monday through Friday.  The Youth (7th-High School) will meet from 7:30-9:45Pm in the evenings Monday through Thursday.  The 7th/8th grade will meet separate from the High School. I will still need volunteers for during the day.  I need 4 adults for each day during the week and also 1 or 2 to help in the kitchen.   I will need host families to feed the team each evening Monday to Friday.  We would like to do a potluck on the 22nd (Saturday) with the parish after Mass to meet the team.  If you would like to help in any way please contact me.  Parents be on the look out for enrollment forms.  This should be an exciting opportunity.  Cost will be $10 per child or youth.

This year's theme was "Catholic Schools: Faith. Academics. Service." In just three words, this theme expresses what Catholic schools are all about.  We teach our students faith, not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God.  We hold them to high academic standards and do everything we can to help students reach their full potential.  We aso teach them how to serve, both as a way to express their faith and to become good citizens.

Please join me in saying thank you to those who help make our school a success: our teachers, staff, board members, parents, and volunteers.  Through their dedication and commitment, our students are learning in a culture of faith, academics, and service that is preparing them for a full life in their families, communities, and the Catholic Church.
