Letter from the Director

Dear Redeemer Community,

It is the rare writer who comes close to capturing the magic of Christmas. Both Dr. Seuss and his beloved fictional character, the Grinch, and Charles Schulz's Linus, who so eloquently recites from the Gospel of Luke, seem to capture it best. Sometimes, though, words are just not enough - wherein might lie the magic of Christmas. Witnessing the holiday season through the eyes of a child provides that extraordinary glimpse into its magic. With a building full of children, the spirit and magic are ever present at Redeemer. Our children truly make this time of year so beautiful.

Please be sure to click on the link for our new student video, "Merry Christmas 2014! With Love, Redeemer Parish Day School". All of us at Redeemer wish you and your families a joyous holiday season. Enjoy the magic!

Best regards,

Mary Knott
