The AOL Class of 23, 7th grade, spent time on their retreat at St. Charles Catholic High School with the SCC Senior Retreat Team and Mr. Foulon, deepening their faith. The theme focus was "Don't Turn Back." They were challenged to move forward in life with God, who created each of them in HIS image. They were told that the failures or hurt we experience in life does not determine who we are, GOD DOES.
The 6th-grade class traveled to St. Charles Catholic High School for their retreat. The SCC Senior Retreat Team and Mrs. Poche - Campus Minister and Religion Teacher, led the retreat. Crusader 6th graders could unwind and reflect upon their lives and relationship with God. By the end of the retreat, students felt closer to God, found peace, and deepen friendships.

Our last school building is under heavy renovation at this time. The inside should be completed by the beginning of November. All school renovations, including new roofs on all buildings, should be completed by the end of November. While going through a hurricane is difficult, we are happy that our school now has been renovated to bring us into the future for many years. Just the school portion of renovations is estimated somewhere around $3,000,000. It is a good sign for the future of the school.
