Tiny peeps, BIG excitement! 🐥✨
The St. Chrys kiddos met some chicks today and let’s just say… it was love at first peep. 💛

We are so excited to help care for these fluffy friends through the end of the school. The children were gentle, curious, and completely smitten.

Friday was such a special day at St. Chrys as we welcomed families into our Pre-School, Fours, and JK classrooms for Parent’s Day.

There is nothing sweeter than watching little hands pull their grown-ups around the room saying, “Let me show you!”

We are so grateful for our incredible families who partner with us every day. Your love, support, and involvement make our St. Chrys community so strong.

Thank you for making Parent’s Day such a meaningful and memorable event.

Today we began the season of Lent with Ash Wednesday.

The ash cross, or heart, reminds us that we are all loved by God-a theme we have been discussing weekly in chapel.

We begin this special season together — with gentle hearts and open hands.
