Season of Thanks
We have all been reminded of how quickly our lives can be changed by witnessing our brothers and sisters who have suffered great loss on the East Coast
this past week. As we enter into this Thanksgiving season, may we keep all of those on the East Coast and all of those who continue to suffer throughout the world in our thoughts and in our prayers. The peace of the Lord be with you always.

College Night
Last week, parents of 9th -12th grade students gained insight about the college  application process and how their daughters can take the best steps toward being accepted into their dream colleges. Parents were able to ask questions and get answers directly from college admission directors who emphasized that "every student ends up in the right school."
