On Monday, April 8, there will be a partial solar eclipse in our area. It is expected to begin at 11:48 am, peak at 12:46 pm and finish by 1:38 pm. For many of our schools, this partial solar eclipse occurs over lunch hour. Although people can safely observe the eclipse by wearing special glasses, the timing of the eclipse, over lunchtime, means students will be playing outdoors for lunch recess and may not take the precautions needed to safely view it. Out of an abundance of caution, our elementary schools will be adjusting their schedules and activities that day to keep students indoors during the time of the eclipse. Students in junior high and high school will follow a regular schedule and will be permitted to leave the school over lunch hour. If parents prefer to have their children in Grades 7 – 12 stay in the school building, we ask that you have that conversation with your child/ren. The school will provide a space indoors.

Hope In The Resurrection - As we rejoice in the beauty of God's resurrected Christ, may His immense and unending love fill your souls with joy and great hope. Christian hope is not wishful thinking. It draws deeply from faith, and is the assurance that God does what He promises, and will see His plan through to the end. Let this Easter season be a time of newfound joy, faith, and hope in the blessings bestowed upon us by the resurrection of God who is with us. May the spirit of Easter inspire us to express our gratitude for His great gift through love, compassion, and unity within our schools and beyond. Let us reflect on the resurrected Jesus this Easter season and strive to live conform ourselves to Him in all that we do. May the abundant blessings of our God fill this Easter with peace, happiness, and the beauty of God's grace for you and your family. Alleluia! He is risen!
