Off and Running

Depositing and then again picking up crisply uniformed students, the vehicular centipede of amazing length is again creeping each morning and afternoon through the Visitation School campus. School has begun. Today is day #5, and the gears of the school year are moving smoothly.

New students are acclimating to their new school setting and classmates, while returning and new faculty and staff have settled into the ‘08-’09 school year’s routines. Fall sports teams are off and running – some quite literally – and VISTA Productions is beginning preparation for the fall play. Student clubs of many sorts are forming and homework has again become part of students’ daily routine.

Embedded in all of this opening activity is our mission, to provide an excellent education within a Catholic environment rooted in Salesian spirituality. With such a school mission, even the carpool centipede is gentler than most.
