FINALLY, FINALLY: the City of Washington has granted a permit to the parish for the "temporary" placement of a portable classroom structure that will house two new classrooms.
There are several reasons for this action: first and foremost, there is at this time a classroom, the 5th grade, located in the Good Shepard Room ... a dressed up term for a large room in the basement of the priests' residence. In the age in which we live with the various difficulties that have confronted the Church, it is my opinion that the location of a classroom within a priests' residence building was, if nothing else, the wrong image. Secondly, there was a need for more space in our school to provide even better educational experiences for the students.
The permit had been expected in June but the hoops we were forced to encounter delayed us for several months. It is expected to arrive in November.
