For the 2021-22 school year, we are expanding our partnership with Virtue=Strength (formally know as Sportsleader) to bring additional materials in virtue education and Catholic identity to the K-12 program. In my blogs and weekly messages I will be sharing the Virtue=Strength parent newsletter with you and the schools will be sharing what is going on in the classroom.
The first parent newsletter can be viewed here. Virtue Parent PDF. Our mission is to bring the students to a deeper understanding of God’s creation and our role in His creation.
In Christ’s Peace,
Daniel Minter
