Greetings Vikings! I hope everyone is able to relax and rejuvenate over Spring Break, and all those celebrating have time to prepare for spiritual days and events ahead! We have just finished the 3rd Quarter and it is on to the final push of the school year! Let’s finish this last lap of the good race strong!
