HC Community,
Most of you are aware that the Diocese plans to close Tabor Retreat Center at the end of September. We are saddened by this news and wish Deacon Gordon Cartwright many blessings. Deacon Gordon will continue to be part of the school at our Tuesday morning communion services. Please be aware that the Diocese has plans to put up a for sale/for lease sign near the street to highlight the Tabor property. The Diocese is only selling or leasing the Tabor property and the sign has no effect on the school.
With sympathy for the family, we share with you that Ann Shenigo's father-in-law, Michael Shenigo, husband of former board member, Rachel Shenigo, died this week. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 at Holy Cross Church on Saturday, Sept. 7. Our prayers go out to the Shenigo family in this time of loss.
Rachel's Address is:
3130 Sedgewick Drive
Lynchburg, VA 24503

Dear Parents,
We are going to again be canning peach jam, peach butter, and apple sauce for the Christmas Bazaar at Breakfast with Santa in December. If you have any pint or half-pint canning jars, rings, and/or lids, would you please donate them for this school project? You can give them to your child's teacher, and I will collect everything next Friday, Sept. 7. We will make our preserves at Tabor the following Monday and Tuesday. Thank you so much, and I hope you are all having a fun school year!
Happy looong weekend,
Mrs. Schemmel
