Greetings SBPS Parents and Friends:
Thanks to all the parents who supported last Friday’s HSA Fun Run. Your tremendous support is incredible and we can’t wait for the HSA to share with you giving totals! Your financial giving will support teacher appreciation, community events and school safety enhancements. Stay tuned for more information - and thank you once again!

Ms. Gemo’s Prayer Corner
Prayer for Peace—St. John Paul II
Lord Jesus Christ, who are called the Prince of Peace, who are Yourself our peace and reconciliation, who so often said, “Peace to you” – please grant us peace.
Make all men and women witnesses of truth, justice and brotherly love. Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace. Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace.
May all peoples on the earth become as brothers and sisters.
May longed-for peace blossom forth and reign always over us all. Amen.
