SCHOOL AND PARISH CONNECTIONS

Though the summer is young, I am thinking about ways the

parish and the school can be more connected. One

possibility would be for Parishioners to become Reading

Buddies with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. Working with

children will require permission for a background check

to be done as well as Virtus training for the protection of

children. EVERYONE directly connected with children in

the school and all parish employees must do this.

Another possible connection is Adopt a Teacher. The

details of how this might work will have to be worked out

depending on the number of participants. In the

meantime, think about it and call or e-mail me if you are

interested in either one. I will send your name to the

principal of the school.
