As expected, small private schools are closing in South Florida. The first victims in recent months are the Sacred Heart Catholic School in Homestead and St. Stephen Catholic Church in Miramar. The economy is taking its toll. A dollar can only be stretched so much.

It is unfortunate but a reality we will face several times over the next few months. Another reality is that we will overcome this also. Let’s buckle up for this because it will be a real bumpy ride.

Our hearts go out to the students and parents affected by these closings but this too shall pass.
