School Board President’s Report from Finance Sub-Committee

                As info, Leigh reported on a new group she has formed and is leading per Father Mark’s request.  Leigh, Liz Lively, Mary, Sara Hagler and Jason Swann are part of this newly formed group.  The purpose of this group is to help the parish grow again and invite families to come back after COVID and other reasons.   This is not a fund-raising group but instead looking to build community.  More details to come.
