A Catholic family tuition rate
Marianne Webster, principal at Holy Redeemer School, Evansville, writes in the parent newsletter, “We particularly ask your prayers right now as we are making the final decisions on tuition for the next school year.
“Father Paul [Ferguson] and I have met with Good Shepherd and St. Theresa to offer a Catholic Family tuition rate. All three parishes will be charging the same rates in the interest of continuing solid Catholic education in the northeast section of our city.
“This rate will be extended to St. Mary’s, St. Anthony and St. John, Daylight, to parents who are seeking a Catholic education for their children.”
It’s a boy!
Jewell Joffray, art teacher at Resurrection School, Evansville, and her husband Jarred are the proud parents of a baby boy, Jarren Gregory.
Margo Walker is the new “long-term substitute art teacher,” according to Angie Johnson, principal.
