Presidents' Letter

Welcome back! We are so blessed to have had a successful start to the school year. We feel very lucky to have the leadership of Ms. Bigane and Fr. Carl and our amazing teachers to prepare us for this challenging school year. 

We are launching the St. Giles PTO Newsletter that will be sent out every Wednesday focused on events, volunteer opportunities, and other ways to be involved at St. Giles! We hope this will serve as a good resource to families. The school office will continue to send out St. Giles enews every Sunday. 

We had a great kick off to the year with our PTO Welcome-Back-to-School event in the courtyard last week. A huge thank you to everyone who was able to attend. 

Our role as a PTO will look very different this year. Please join us for our first meeting on Tuesday, September 8th at 7pm via Zoom. The Zoom link can be found below and on the school calendar. We will walk through our new approach to this year and some of the changes we are making to our initiatives.

We hope to see you on the call and a warm welcome to the new school year!
