  • Forming Servant Leaders in the Image of Christ 2019-2020 in Review And
    2019-2020 in Review and Annual Report of Gifts Forming Servant Leaders in the Image of Christ President’s Welcome Dear Friends and Families, The school year 2019-2020 began like so many others. We enjoyed a great fall complete with the roar of the crowd at football games, hot dogs and Savio clubs at Trunk or Treat and No Shave November. We enjoyed a lovely Christmas with our family and friends and returned in January rested and ready. We were able to experience our infamous school-wide service day, Imago Christi, and witness the amazing 7th Annual Cuts for Cancer. Little did we know that the COVID 19 global pandemic was looming just around the corner, and it would change our Savio world like nothing else has done before. In the months and weeks before Spring Break, more and more conversations were about preparedness. Then reality set in – we needed to adjust and prepare for the unthinkable – finishing the spring semester with distance learning. The week before spring break was spent preparing teachers and students for this incredible transition. The results were amazing. Aided by Savio’s Bring Your Own Device program, Savio students were comfortable with their computers, family homes were ready with internet access and Savio teachers were ready to Zoom and continue teaching. Savio teachers spent 10 weeks teaching online before celebrating our 2020 Senior class in a graduation ceremony that was live streamed from our own football field – another first. We were relieved and proud that we had completed the school year, with as much fidelity to the true curriculum as humanly possible.

  • 2017-18 Gold Award Yearbook
    Gold2017–2018 Award Yearbook Dear Gold Award Recipients, Congratulations! You made it! You have achieved the highest award in Girl Scouting. As a Gold Award recipient, you are a part of an elite group of women. Since 1916, Girl Scouts have been given the opportunity to earn this prestigious award, and those who completed the journey have changed their own lives and the lives of others in amazing and significant ways. The leadership skills, organizational competence, and sense of community and commitment that come from “Going for the Gold” sets the foundation for a lifetime of active citizenship. I see a very bright future for each and every one of you. Today is a great day to be a girl. While there is still a long way to go to achieve total equality, there has been no better time to be a girl. As a Gold Award Girl Scout, you know that you can become anything you desire to be and do anything you set your mind to do. As you make your way, it is my hope that you appreciate all the opportunities you have today and that you take your seat at the community leadership table. Say yes – to going to college, to traveling abroad, to running for office, to starting a new business, to anything that will make you happy and fulfilled. When barriers arise, remember that you are a Girl Scout. You have the courage, the confidence, and the character to tackle anything. You are prepared to change the world and we cannot wait to see what your future holds.
