Hello Falcon Families!
I hope you had a blessed Labor Day weekend!
Covid Corner
- We had our 4th positive case this week, but we still have not had spread. No spread is good news!
- Although we are not mandating a universal mask policy, we are asking you to prayerfully and sincerely consider the following:
- We value personal freedom. We also value charity and love of neighbor.
- Should the good of the (school) family come before the good of the individual?
- “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Genesis 4:9). “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)
- Masks are only partially effective. Is there value in partially protecting our loved ones?
- The effectiveness of a mask, albeit low, benefits the close contact more than the source. Therefore, the decision to not mask a potential source is a decision to not protect a close contact and, potentially, the close contact’s family.
- We have students with compromised immune systems.
- We have high-risk parents and grandparents.
- We have parents and grandparents who are receiving chemotherapy treatments and have depleted immune systems.
- We have families with newborn babies.
- We have families who cannot afford to miss work because a student or parent is in isolation or quarantine.
- These are real St. Christopher families with real issues. These are our neighbors and our loved ones.
