Letter from the Principal:
Dear SJV Families,
Please be sure to read this week’s newsletter carefully and add all of the important Catholic Schools Week dates to your calendars! We begin our festivities Saturday evening simultaneously at our annual Chili Cook-off here at SJV, as well as at the 5:30 pm Mass at Our Lady of the Lake. I will be at both events, so I hope to be able to see you at one, or both!
Thank you for your great response during re-registration! We are excited now to welcome new members to our SJV family during Open Enrollment, which began this past Monday. We already have new students registering and look forward to more. If you know of anyone who might be interested in learning more about SJV, please send them our way!
Many thanks for everything you do to support our school! Have a wonderful week!
God bless,
Jennifer McCormick
