Thank You!
It’s hard to believe we are only two weeks away from Thanksgiving Break! During this season of Thanksgiving, I would like to thank you, the parents, who help make St. Albert the Great the wonderful place it is. The volunteer hours you spend in the classroom and on multiple committees, the donations of supplies and food preparation, and charitable gifts you make do not go unnoticed. I speak for the entire St. Albert staff in saying we would not accomplish what we do without your help. Thank you for entrusting us with your children each day at school, and for the opportunity we have to help your child reach his/her potential.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break making many happy memories, while spending time with you families!
