I really love this school and I've been here since pretty school I've made some pretty great friends over the years and this school is always and forever will be my St.Gregory family and if Mrs.Graves or Mrs.DeGrose is reading this thank for doing my idea of the sticky notes

We attended Grandparents Day and met our 2 grandson's teachers, who were preschool and kindergarten. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. The children were all very happy and well managed. I think Saint Gregory's School is wonderfully diverse and focused on learning.
Sincerely,
Mark Tellier
