While the Association is encouraging NAES schools to accommodate as many students as possible from Episcopal schools affected by Hurricane Katrina, we recognize that openings, admission policies and cost must be determined by the unique circumstances at individual schools. You will need to contact the schools directly for information.
A variety of other Episcopal and independent schools organizations are collecting and distributing information about possible enrollment opportunities. Please visit their web sites, links for which are listed under related URLs, for information.
Godspeed.

A Prayer
Dear God. Give comfort, strength and peace to those most affected by
Hurricane Katrina, especially any who have lost or are separated from
loved ones. May the ache in their hearts be the place where your
unfailing love and their brokenness find each other. May this tragedy
bring resolve, conviction and a deep spirit of generosity to each of
us. Teach us to embrace our sadness lest it turn to despair, and unite us
in our common humanity, as we reach out in hope to those who suffer. Amen.
Written by the Rev. Peter G. Cheney, NAES Executive Director
