A special story of Breaking Bread shared by one of our parents: We are new to St. Mary’s School and the Rise and Shine Breakfast Club has been such a blessing to our children. They were nervous to meet new people, but could go to the Rise and Shine Breakfast Club and visit with other students while they had breakfast. Now they look forward to going to school everyday and feel welcome and loved as they enter for breakfast every morning. Thank you for this safe space so those who are nervous or anxious may go and have a positive start to their day!
