Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

Hot Lunch Volunteers Needed! The Sign-Up Genius for hot lunch volunteers is now available. Over the last several weeks, we have had several occasions where only one volunteer has been signed up for lunch duty. If you are Virtus trained and can find time in your schedule, please consider volunteering for lunch duty. The lunch program relies on volunteers and without them, we really cannot have a hot lunch program. It's a great way to see your child(ren) and his/her/their friends during the school day. Thanks!
