Board of Education Bits
Thanks to all who completed the annual web based evaluation of our KidZone, religious education, and school programs. As the Board of Education, we value your thoughts and recommendations. These are shared with Father Tiegs and the program directors to provide some guidance and direction for the immediate future and/or upcoming years. One of the previous opportunities was to increase the program size for KidZone. The program has now been expanded to 200 students for the 2011 school year. Another comment was to provide the lessons for each week for R.E. program. The lessons were added to the RE website for parents to view throughout the year.
