St. Benedict’s vicar, the Rev. Lang Lowrey, says the Spring Fling is becoming quite a tradition. “Even though our church community is just over 17-months-old, this will be our third annual event and the second time we will congregate on our new site to hold a joint celebration with our school.
There is a lot to celebrate right now. St. Benedict’s Episcopal Day School is about to undergo a significant growth spurt, timed to coincide with the completion of the first phase of renovations of the school and church buildings. Head of School Janet Rau can hardly contain her excitement about how well the community has embraced the school, its inclusive philosophy, and its rigorous curricula.
Rev. Lowrey says the Spring Fling will give church and school families a chance to meet each other and to see how the building renovations are coming along. “It will be a perfect time to build and renew relationships and to find out about our summer programs,” Lowrey said. “Some parents are still scrambling to find safe, structured summer activities for their children, and we’re ready to do what we can to help.”
