Today students in grades K – 8 will be bringing home an informational booklet from the publisher of our religion curriculum (Loyola Press). The booklet gives a really nice overview of spiritual development by grade and talks about how parents can help play a role in their child’s spiritual growth.  We hope you will take a few moments to review the booklet this weekend and use some of the information as conversation starters at the dinner table.
