The School is shaping up nicely for the 2010-11 school year. We started the new school year with the teachers and staff greeting the approximately 207 students at the doors and directing the students to the Parish Hall where we began the day with a prayer service, and then the students were dismissed to their classrooms.

We also welcome a new staff person to the Pre-School Program. Mrs. Marge Green, the mother of Rebecca (8-Vernell). Our Pre-School has an enrollment of 28 students.

As you have probably figured out, we are always trying to convince everyone to consider Seven Holy Founders as your school of choice. We have made many upgrades and we offer smaller class sizes, but we still believe we can improve in many ways. By everyone, parents, teachers, administrators, working together, we can make this school an exemplary school. We will continue to work hard and make the necessary changes to serve the needs of a new generation. There are many challenges to keep up with our modern world, and we just keep looking forward to the adjustments and necessary accomplishments to make. School has begun; so I urge you to stop by and I will take you on a personal tour of Seven Holy Founders. Some parishioners don't even know we have two computer labs, library and art room. Stop by. We would love to have you and as always, my door is always open. We are always looking for volunteers to help our students "Reach for the Stars".

And now for my joke . . . Bible stories according to children . . . The people who followed the Lord were called the 12 decibels. . . . The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple. . . . Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the Apostles.

Have a great week. Bro. Joel, OSM
