Our hearts are heavy at the loss of our dear teacher, colleague, and friend Serenella Braund.

As a Catholic community we were reminded that we do not believe this is the end. Jesus overcame death and rose from the dead, assuring us of eternal life with God.

Our school mass on December 4th at 9:30am will be offered up in Mrs. Braund’s memory.

If you are available, please join us.
