Dear Parents,
On this Memorial Day, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the examples of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their lives with Your strength and peace.
God Bless America,
Ms. Danielle Gonzalez

REMINDERS:
VOTER VOICE – Second Request.
PLEASE PARTICIPATE! It takes less than 5 minutes!
Your support (faculty, staff and parents) is needed for the 2025 NJ State Budget as proposed by Governor Murphy to raise the per pupil amount in the current proposed budget. We can do that by contacting members of the NJ Legislature on the two key issues of Nursing Services and Transportation. Current funding does not cover a full-time nurse at St. Philip Preparatory school.
VoterVoice is the easiest and most efficient method. Here is the link to VoterVoice:

If you are unfamiliar with using VoterVoice just click on the above link, enter the information, add your personal comments if you choose, and then hit send. It’s that easy!
