Dear Second Grade Parents,

Welcome to another new school year! Our school theme this year is “Rooted in Christ” from Colossians 2:6-7. “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.\u201d As we begin a new school year, we pray that your children will continue to grow in their faith and connect even more strongly to their roots of faith.
