The St. Thomas Hellenic School in Cherry Hill, NJ, began its 2023-2024 school year on September 7 in the church with an Agiasmo blessing. The community was excited and honored that Archimandrite of the Ecumenical Throne Fr. Christoforos Oikonomidis, the Chancellor of the Metropolis of New Jersey, and their former proistamenos, was present for the Sanctification of the Water service along with the Hellenic School families.
Fr. Christophoros offered his best wishes and blessings to the students, teachers, principal and parents for the new school year.
Immediately following the Agiasmo service, parents and students filled Balis Educational Building for a quick ‘Meet and Greet’ with the classroom teachers.
The staff consists of eight classroom teachers for students in grades PreK through 6th and a Greek dance teacher.
After the meet and greet the PTO treated the Greek School families to ice cream with a special visit from Mr. Softee! The community is excited to open the doors to the 110 students. Classes began on Monday, September 11.
