Phone Number Reminder
We are still in the process of switching phone systems. I would ask that you check your phone contact number to make sure that it is 618-344-5450. You may even want to reenter that number. We have been told that there is a back door number on the old system. Once we switch over completely, it will no longer work.

Request Please
We are doing a special project for Easter. If you have any plastic eggs that you would like to donate to school, please send to the office. Thanks!

All donations should be brought to school by March 23rd or placed in the boxes marked at the entrances of Church.
