Grow With God

August 25 - 29

Dear Parents and Scholars,

    The first three days of school were wonderful!  I feel blessed to be teaching such kind, generous, and talented scholars.  I look forward to meeting all of you at the Parent Open House on Wednesday, August 27th, at 7:00p.m.  I will provide a handout that has important information for the remainder of the school year.

    I hope that you all have a great weekend.  Thank you for the sacrifices that you make so that your scholar can attend St. Malachy School.  If there is ever anything that I can do to make your lives easier, please let me know.                                                      

                                                                                                                               Blessings,

                                                                                                                                Mrs. Dunn
