Weekly Miracle Makers
Oftentimes it feels like our school is powered by Miracles. Miracles large and small happen each week to pull off all that we do here. Those miracles appear in acts of love and kindness and service by parents, children, staff, alumni, community members, and more, and each week we highlight a special one here.
This week’s Miracle Makers are Olivia Henika & Marta Beczek, two of our community Moms who happen to also be superhero FBI/HSI agents. They offered their time to host a free presentation about keeping our children safe online that greatly benefited those of us in attendance. We feel safer knowing we have these amazing humans watching out for us and keeping us safe.
