Dear Families and Friends of OLQP:
In preparation for Catholic Schools Week, students wrote what they love most about Jesus and OLQP. The little ones wrote things like: "Jesus is peace. Jesus loves me. Jesus is kind," and
"I love OLQP because: I get to build with blocks, ... I play in centers, ... everyone is nice."
Older students wrote things like "I love Jesus because...He showed me the way to Heaven. ...He gives me peace, and I can always pray if I need help. ...He guides me through my life. "
"I love OLQP because ...we learn about God, and the teachers care for you. ... I love to learn new things. ..they push you to go above and beyond, and I learn a lot from very cool teachers."
Catholic schools provide more than academic rigor. Catholic school teachers are called to see each child as a gift from God. We are called to help students make sense of the world through a Catholic world view where life is treasured, each one of them is valued, and how we treat each other is important. There is so much confusion in the world today. It is a blessing to be in a place where we share a common Faith foundation that enables us to pass on the Christian culture to the next generation.
Thank you for being part of the mission and ministry of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam,
Mrs. Marianne Mechura, M.Ed.
