PRINCIPAL’S CORNER
Happy Catholic Schools Week! Catholic Schools Week helps us to remember why Catholic education is so important. It reminds us of our mission at St. Angela Merici School: to educate the whole child, by encouraging growth in faith and spirit, body and mind, self-discipline and responsibility.
We strive to achieve the goals of St. Angela Merici School, which are:
•To teach children to live the Gospel message of Christ in order to make wise and moral decisions as they face the challenges of growing up in today’s world.

What a great testimony to the committed faculty and staff at St. Angela Merici School!
