“Your every act should be done with love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14
Letter from the Principal:
Dear SJV Families,
Thank you very much for your support of Catholic Schools Week! It was wonderful to see so many of you at our school events and local parishes as we celebrate and promote our Catholic identity.
I would like to offer a very special thank you to all of the families who have helped with the Basketball tournaments that SJV has hosted this season. Your donations and volunteer hours have helped raise money for our athletic program that we can use to enhance the equipment and facilities we have here. We have one more tournament this Saturday, so if you don’t have plans, please come show your support for our teams.
For those of you whose children are re-enrolling for the 2012-2013 school year, you should find a Parish Subsidy Form in the Wednesday folder today. In order to receive the Catholic tuition rate, you must take the card to the parish at which you are registered, receive the signature of your pastor, and return the card to the school.
Have a great week!
Jennifer McCormick
