Principal’s Message
Dear SPC Families,
As we celebrate Christmas, I wish each of you abundant blessings and a truly joy-filled holiday. May the light of the Christ Child continue to guide and inspire us throughout the year ahead.
Congratulations to our Preschool–3rd grade students, who beautifully sang at their concert Thursday morning. Their joy and enthusiasm were truly a gift to all who attended.
A heartfelt thank you to the families who contributed to the Home and School Faculty Gift Fund. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and continued support.
