Hello St. Al Families,<\/p>\n
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and you found a moment to enjoy some of the fabulous sunshine we have been having.\u00a0 This week, I wanted to send out a school wide announcement that Ms. Brain is no longer an employee at St. Alphonsus. We are currently looking for her replacement and would encourage anyone who is interested, to apply through the Archdiocese by clicking here or by visiting the Office for Catholic Schools website for open positions.\u00a0 We have also placed ads on three other job sites, two specifically geared toward Montessori education. Feel free to spread the word and I will keep you posted on our progress.<\/p>\n
