Welcome to the April 17th edition of the Eagle Update. Today is Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter. The Mass reflection is below. The complete reading can be found on the USCCB website.  

"Speak, Lord, your servant is listening;

you have the words of everlasting life.”

Dear Savio Family,

Blessings to you and your families as we continue to fly through April and prepare for an action-packed May.

So many things are going on and the best part is that they involve celebrating our students and their hard-earned accomplishments. Looking forward to the conclusion of a great Spring sports season, another great performance by our drama department this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and the upcoming Imago Christi Day and Spring Prom. Congrats to everyone!

Including a picture here of the winning team from last Friday's Trivia Night, sponsored by our Quizbowl Team. My understanding is that this team has decided to retire as an undefeated champion. Looks like a nice group of people.

Let's keep working hard, praying consistently, and remember to have some fun along the way.

Take care and God bless!

Tim

Faculty/Staff Inservice - April 19

Don't forget this Friday is a Faculty/Staff Inservice Day and students will not be on campus.

Dear Savio Family, 

Congratulations to our Boys and Girls track teams and our Baseball team for their district championships! Congratulations are also in order for our Tennis team. Our boys double team finished 2nd and our mixed double team finished 3rd at the State Tournament. It has been a great Spring Season, and our student-athletes continue to work hard and get better each and every day. 

I also hope to see you all this week at the Spring Musical, Freaky Friday. Our students have been working hard for months in preparation and are ready to put on an amazing performance. Tickets are still available for performances this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 

Next week is PROMise week where we will focus on a different commitment each day to help improve the Savio family. 

Thank you and God Bless, 

Evan
