Support comes from Day Sponsor Karen Penning and the Penning family, recognizing Trish Penning for devoting 46 years of teaching kindergarten at St. Agnes School. Thanks to Trish for 46 years of love and learning showered on students, fondly known as her “kids." May she find new adventures to enjoy in her retirement. Congratulations, Miss Penning!
