Message from the\u00a0Principal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello St. Al Families,<\/p>\n

As some of you may know,\u00a0I am originally from Southern California. Despite the fact that I have lived in Seattle for almost 13 years, the weather, and especially the snow storms, never cease to amaze me. \u00a0I found myself putting on my snow gear and taking a walk every day to a nearby park. \u00a0I spent time enjoying the beauty that God gave us and spent some time in prayer, as there is nothing more peaceful than the sweet stillness of a snowy Seattle morning. \u00a0Despite the disturbances in our schedule, I do hope that you too were able to enjoy some snow time. \u00a0Even if the snow was a burden, we can all thankful for the variety in our weather and the gorgeous greenery it will leave behind.<\/p>\n

On a vastly different note, as the snow created issues with our State of the School schedule, I want to let everyone know that we will be doing a video version this year. \u00a0I will record my presentation with my slides so you can view at your leisure. \u00a0I will also set up a Coffee with the Principal event that will focus on any questions you may have about the presentation video. \u00a0Once we are back at school, I will find a date that works for that event. \u00a0In addition, I know that enrollment has always been tied to attending the State of the Schools presentation. \u00a0I am going to open enrollment before the end of this week but I want to caution everyone about checking the parent commitments and tuition rates on our website, as there have been some changes.<\/p>\n

It has been quite a start to February. \u00a0Thank you to everyone for your patience as we all navigated the weather. \u00a0I\u00a0am looking forward to seeing all of you back again for our normal scheduled times.<\/p>\n

Thank you,
\nKathleen Cifu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
