Happy Birthday, Fr. Larry! ?
 
Students were happy to help celebrate Fr. Larry's birthday (one day early) after morning prayers this morning, surprising him with a cards, balloons, flowers, and SRLA blue-and-gold birthday cake. Enjoy, Fr. Larry, and many happy returns!
 
Lend a Hand at SRLA
Welcome back to school from the SRLA HSA!
 
The HSA, or Home School Association, is a group of volunteer parents who work together to raise funds for our operating budget, to make improvements to our school, and to bring in wonderful cultural programs for our children and their continued education.
 
Each school family agrees to volunteer with the HSA when they register at SRLA, and there are lots of ways for you to get involved! The Mandatory HSA Signup breaks down various volunteer opportunities at SRLA so parents can choose where to participate and what works best with their schedule. And don't worry—all events are supported by the HSA and Chairs, so we will be there every step of the way!
 
Please pick a spot for each parent/guardian by November 1. Volunteer hours will be assessed at the end of the year and fees will be charged at that time if you decide not to volunteer. If you would like to opt-out for the year, a $350 fee will be charged to your Blackbaud account.

Thank you so much for your time and commitment to our school!
