thing in regards to wrapping it up in regards of spirituality one of the most important things that do the spiritual formation of our students we Implement a pattern that we've been using in the church for 2000 years I call it no one else calls at this I call it the Christian two step we receive and then we give And in regards to receiving our students in the classroom in regards to religion or theology class they receive content of the FAE but as alluded to earlier with Miss Castaneda and so with the high school and they go out into the community and they serve so they not only learn information about the faith but they put it into practice and serving the community becoming a leader a servant leaders in the community which is very important another way that they receive and they give is in Mass each week we have mass on Wednesday and they received Ian going to mass listening Mohammad myself and Father Charles Bishop Carmody are visiting priest by serving in the choir or lecturing or as an altar server and so that's another way that they received and then they give back lastly they receive by going to a yearly Retreat and experience I'm Stylin sometimes for the first time in their lives putting that cellphone away and making time for the Lord in front of the Blessed Sacrament and then they give by being able to serve on other Retreats especially under glass and I we we know that it's work that we've done with work and the church has been doing it for 2,000 years and and it's a tried-and-true method that helps our students become the best versions of themselves in regards to the Future very excited I'm in regards to our enrollment at the high school we just had our graduation recently but we already have more new students enrolled then we graduated this year and our Middle School is not far behind so excited about that for the future also in regards to Future we're always looking for ways to unite 6 through 12 more every year but next year will be doing that through a committee to look for even greater ways to unite both of our schools 6 through 12 and lastly, we want to focus on facility upgrades this year we made some strides and upgrading some of our facilities we have some large projects planned for the future I can't go into details but I just wanna let you know that we are planning for somebody upgrade Capital Improvements that will help to
