Principal's Corner

Dear Parents,

The Vatican states that schools “should try to create a community school climate that reproduces, as far as possible, the warm and intimate atmosphere of family life.” A school that fosters an environment of shared values and morality. A school that encourages a positive school climate is one in which everyone feels valued, safe and supported and one in which they can trust that positive interactions are developed.

The expectation of common courtesy, positive interactions and mutual respect among students and community members is something that Holy Family School cultivates every day. This positive and caring school environment was evident last week when we celebrated Catholic Schools week. We had so many activities that would not have been possible if not for our wonderful school community. Thank you everyone who came to help us celebrate our school.

Thank you to those who helped during the Grandparent Luncheon. Thank you Jennie Aubert, Shannon Beauregard, Lisa Bickley, Ashley Cattarello, Lu Lu Ceballos, Megan Dibsie, Amy DiMarzio, Linda Foos, Jeanne Haberer, Shannel Hartlerode, Becky Kirschenmann, Paola Legarre, Jane Lake, Mario Licata, Jessica Morris, Ashley Rastrelli, Sarah Shrader, BrieAnna Springer, Tina Treves, Kim Walsh, Nat Waterman, Lynn Wilson and Rob Zentner.

It is that time of year when we start planning for the next school year. If you are interested in enrolling any siblings of students who are currently attending Holy Family, please let us know ASAP by clicking HERE, or calling the office at 242-6168.

Last time to register for the Father~Daughter Valentine Dance is TODAY, February 5th. Don't miss this memorable night. Register HERE.

On Saturday, 2/2/19, middle school students had a chance to participate in the School District 51 Spelling Bee. We are proud of all who participated. Congratulations to Miranda Deeths (7th grade), who placed 1st overall, and to Emma Ryan (7th grade) who placed 5th overall. Way to go girls!

Parents, please check your kiddie mail envelope for important information requiring your attention. If the background check we have on file for you has expired (5 years) we are requesting that you complete a new form so we can have a current background check on file for you. Also, if you have not completed the online safe environment training implemented by the Diocese of Pueblo, you will find instructions on how to set up your account and complete the training. All this must be completed before you can come and volunteer in the classroom or attend classroom activities, parties, etc. Thank you for helping HFCS be in compliance with the Diocese of Pueblo.

Prayer for our school

God, our Father and Creator, be with us in our school.

Help us to treasure your gift of life

and treat one another with care.

Let us always remember that we are all created in your image.

Come, Lord Jesus, and be with us in our school.

Guide our teachers,

guide our parents,

and lead our students

to recognize you in all people.

Come, Holy Spirit, and be with us in our school.

Give us a vision for the future,

and the determination for shaping a faith-filled future.

Amen.
