A note from Sister Marie Isaac, OP:
We are so close to our first day of school! This week our teachers and staff returned full-time to get the classrooms and hallways ready to receive your children. Class lists are now posted in FACTS and I am so excited for you to meet your child’s teacher and get started for the year. You will receive a fuller introduction to them on the Back to School Nights on Aug 30 and Sept 1. Please review the information below for upcoming community events.

SVDP CROSS COUNTY UPDATE
We are excited for another Cross Country season that is quickly approaching. Below are the meets we plan on participating in this year starting with Slavens and finishing up with State in October. The head coach, Mr. Cilia is working on a practice schedule and planning on 1 or 2 practices per week starting right after school and finishing at 4:00 pm. This schedule will be coming out soon. If parents have any interest in volunteering please let Mr. Cilia know as we are in need of an Assistant Coach and always need parents for support at practice.
Cross County is pretty fun. Some folks were born to run and others not so much, but the beauty of Cross County is that it has a spot for everyone. We encourage parents to talk with your children about running. This may be your child’s only activity or for many it is their second or third activity. Even so, Cross County is an important component to support those other sports. Most team sports have an endurance component and that typically is running. Also keep in mind for High School Cross County is often a no-cut sport that provides a safety net to have a sport in High School.
If you are interested in participating, please register on the CSAL Website
