ST. MARGARET’S COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE - Thursday, April 13 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
St. Margaret’s Catholic Elementary School, 220 N. 7th East. All are welcome! You could win a fire pit!

FAQ: "Do we have to be Catholic to attend St. Margaret's?"
Answer: No, you do not need to be Catholic to attend or work at St. Margaret's School. We try to remain true to our Catholic identity through kindness, compassion, prayer, and service. We operate based on these values, and we hope to instill a relationship with God in our students, but we believe these lessons and expectations build strong moral character regardless of our students' religious backgrounds, which, in turn, creates a pretty wonderful atmosphere for students, staff, and school families. We aim to educate the *entire* child, including the soul, and we can't think of anything more profound than that.

show date is april 15...
