Dear Bluejay Family,
I pray that this long Labor Day weekend brings your family rest, renewal, and time together. The gift of an extra day allows us to pause, reflect, and be grateful—for our work, for our vocations, and for the people God places in our lives.
Labor Day reminds us that all honest work, no matter how great or small, can be a path to holiness when offered to God. Whether in our jobs, in our homes, or in our school community, each of us has a role in building up the Kingdom of God.
On that note, I’d like to extend a heartfelt word of thanks to the Bluejay Dads (and one proud granddad!) who came out on Saturday morning to help move furniture into our storage sheds. With many hands, the work was light, and in just an hour and a half we had everything in its place. Your willingness to pitch in is a blessing to our school, and I am deeply grateful.
May this weekend be a chance to recharge, to enjoy the fruits of your labor, and to return on Tuesday ready for another joyful week of learning and growing together as Bluejays.
Grace & Peace,
Erin B. Henry
