Announcements
"To whom much has been given, much is expected in return."
This past June, the Alumni Association was proud to present two graduating students
with the first annual Good Shepherd Award. This award was given to one boy and one
girl who has shown a spiritual growth over his/her school years at SS. Cyril and
Methodius school. These two students have participated in both school & parish community
services. They have done their very best in all academic areas and are now attending
a catholic high school. The two graduate students both wrote wonderful essays discussing
why they felt they deserved this special award. They both discussed how their personal
experience at SSCM had fostered the spirit of stewardship that will contiune throughout
their lives. We were very proud to present each student with a $150.00 check to
the catholic high school of their choice.
