Yep, we must really like colors here at our parish school.
Not too long ago, we announced that our parish school, St. Thomas More School in Munster, Indiana, was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the Department of Education. Now that we have blue under our belt, let’s add purple.
Today, on our final school day of Catholic Schools Week, we honored and celebrated all in our community and nation who help, protect and make a difference to those connected to our school, most importantly, our students.
Thus, this was a perfect day to announce that St. Thomas More School is the recipient of the prestigious Purple Star Award, bestowed on schools by the Indiana Department of Education, who follow an ongoing commitment and support for our nation’s active duty military, veterans and military students and families.
I’m proud of our school for the work that they do to support our nation’s heroes and I’m exceedingly grateful for the men and women who have put or continue to put their lives on the line to keep us safe and free.
