Pastors Comments:
|
- Father welcomed the new board members,
John Grealish & Jim Shick.
- Father reminded the board that the WASC
evaluation of St Roberts is scheduled for March
9th, 10th & 11th of 2004. This is an
important event for the school and will be a
main focus of the staff & faculty.
- The population of children on the
Peninsula has decreased by 15%. This, and
current economic times have resulted in a
decrease in enrollment. St Robert School needs
to be able to market itself effectively in order
to keep recruiting new families. Father used St
Dunstan's marketing tools as an
example.
