When we say CONNECT we mean ~ take the time to get to know others. This means listening to them, reaching out to them in word or deed, learning about their needs and concerns, understanding the culture/faith/family from which they come. When we say RESPECT we mean ~ recognize the Christ that is within others.  This means we speak and act in ways that celebrate and honor the inherent dignity of the person or group. When we say PROTECT we mean ~ watch out for others so that they are safe in all ways.  This means we watch out for bullying and speak up, we build on the connections we have made to not make judgements about entire groups, and we act as the hands of God to shelter those who are in need.

	This year we open our doors celebrating our 30th Anniversary as Metro Catholic School!
