Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School
A National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence
Catholic Identity
It is hard to believe how quickly the school year has passed and come to an end. I would like to thank you for your faith, trust, and commitment to the mission of Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School.  It is your belief in the Catholic education values that help us to sustain our school.  We respect the sacrifices each family makes to send their child to Mary Queen School, and we will continue to put your child first in everything we do! This was a very busy year and you, as partners in education, played a great role in making it a successful year.  

Congratulations to all the students of Mary Queen School, you have worked hard and learned much.  I wish you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable summer. Please be sure to take time as a family to talk, play, and pray together. I look forward to seeing you all in August. Those families who are not returning to our school will continue to be in our prayers as you make your journey on to new places.

It is with understanding and sadness that I let you know that Mrs. Jelf will not be returning to Mary Queen School next year.  We have been blessed to have had her as part of our school family and wish her only the best in her next adventures.

Cross Country
 We are looking forward to Mary Queen’s third season of Cross Country for 3rd -8th grade! We are having pre-registeration for the fall season since we start practice in late summer. Our first practice will be Monday August  14, 2016 at 5:30PM. Although the season starts then, you should start running now to increase your chances of success. We will practice on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30. Practices consist of running various distances on the school grounds and Southland Park or around the community. For practices, runners need their PE uniform or other running clothes and we suggest a good pair of running shoes. Meets will stretch from the beginning of September and run through October. Runners will compete against their own age and gender during meets.

 Although most people think of Cross-Country as just running long distances, we believe it is much more. It is a group of individuals becoming a team through hard work and focus. Cross Country builds character and commitment towards a common goal of achieving your best. It builds dedication and endurance for other activities in life.
 

If you are interested in your child participating please contact Melissa Sloan at melissaesloan@gmail.com or by cell at 859-351-2439 or Caroline Kern at randallkern@att.net or by cell at 859-588-3213
