Dear Parents,
Thank you to all parents who remembered me on Valentine's Day. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated. My new picture is meant as a visual aid to remind parents that students of all grades need to review their Religion notes. They should memorize the Ten Commandments and review what each one means for a test this Wednesday!
