Principal's Message

After a productive and busy month of September, the students and teachers have settled into their classroom routines. What a month it was! Highlighting a few of our events, many of our students participated in the Palouse Empire Fair, smiled for picture day, conducted a 911 ceremony, hosted a Back to School Appreciation BBQ, Scholastic Book Fair and Open House, celebrated our first Children’s Mass at St. Boniface, kicked off our annual magazine drive, joined Holy Family in Clarkston for a presentation of “Living Voices”, and enjoyed a delicious hot lunch from our “kitchen angels”! Whew! There is a reason we are all tired!
Our newly elected officers – Colby Bishop - president, Heather Young - Vice President, and Emma Schultheis – Secretary – are ready to lead us forward in a faith filled year. The positive attitudes and cooperation of our students and parents have set a wonderful tone within the school. Our new Social Studies and History Curriculum is in place and we are enjoying the brand new books! Our Specialist programs – P.E., Music, Art Appreciation, Computer Technology, and Spanish – have added an excitement to our days.

I want to take this opportunity to Thank and Appreciate all those who continue to assist and support this special school. As a result, we are able to provide a spiritual environment for quality education for each of our students. I also want to recognize the number of committee’s and those members who dedicate their time throughout the year for the success of our school. The committee process sustains our strategic plan for continued growth and improvement. We welcome anyone to volunteer their talents and time by choosing a committee of interest.

Please remember our students and teachers in your Masses and prayers so they may enjoy a safe and successful school year. What exceptional pride the families and parishioners of St. Boniface and St. Gall can take in knowing the doors of Catholic education have continued to greet our young people since 1893!

Blessings on your fall season!

God Bless,

Lori Becker
Principal

“I like Friday Masses because we can participate in the homilies. We also get the chance to read at Mass and in front of large crowds. On First Fridays students get rewards for things like being responsible and respectful.
