Grandparents’ & Special Friends Day/Ash Wednesday: The Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion will be offered at school Chapel on Wednesday, February 14, at 8:15 AM. This begins the Season of Lent, and the ashes are an outward sign that, without God, we are only dust. Students in grades K-8 should wear “Dress” Chapel Uniform on Ash Wednesday. Chapel will not be held on Thursday. As always, parents are invited to join us for worship. A reception for Grandparents & Special Friends will enjoy a reception in the MAC immediately following the service. Students will begin dismissal with their guest at 11 AM.
