Good Luck to all the Bosco Bulldogs!!!

Fall has always been my favorite season. I love the colors and spicy smells and I especially love Halloween. This year my favorite season was made exceptionally enjoyable by all the fun of the Fall Frenzy. What a special event! I want to thank Lisa Watson and Suzanne Percy and all of the numerous individuals who worked so hard to make this a very successful evening. It was so rewarding to see the parish and the school

joining together for a very happy October celebration.

This Thursday, October 24, starting at 6:30 pm there is an important "Parents Only" Internet Safety evening. The event will be held in the MPR. Detective Tami Gray from the Chandler Police Department will be telling us about the dangers of the Internet and Social Media and how to help our children avoid difficult situations connected with using these enticing ways of communicating.  I look forward to seeing you around campus.  

Blessings,

Dr. Marie Axman, Principal
