Weβre still reflecting on the powerful homily from last Fridayβs all-school Mass.π€©
Fear of the Lord isnβt about being scared. Itβs a holy reverence that draws us closer to God. It reminds us of His greatness and our dependence on His love and grace.
Weβll never be perfect or able to offer Him all the glory He deserves, but thatβs exactly where His mercy pours in. May we always walk with humble awe and grateful hearts.

Today Father Chris gave our middle school a impromptu eucharist lesson. In the Eucharist, we believe that the bread and wine offered on the altar truly become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This change is called transubstantiation. While the outward appearances of bread and wine remainβwhat we see, taste, and touchβtheir deepest reality is transformed by the power of Christβs words at the Last Supper: βThis is my bodyβ¦ This is my blood.β
Transubstantiation, then, is not only a theological truth but also a call to faith. It invites us to see with the eyes of the heart, trusting in the presence of Christ hidden beneath the forms of bread and wine. It is a reminder that God meets us in humility, offering Himself as true food and true drink to nourish our souls and lead us to eternal life. #PantherPath #LearningFaith

π For the past three years, our teachers have been hard at work in LETRS training, gaining both a deep understanding of the science of reading and practical strategies for strong literacy instruction.
β¨ This year, weβre excited to put that learning into action! Students in grades 1β4 will now participate in small group reading instruction during reading center rotations. These groups will focus on fluency, phonics, and handwritingβall in addition to whole-class lessons in phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Our goal is simple: to give every student the comprehensive support they need to become confident, skilled readers. π‘π
