Dear St. Isidore Families,
As the school year comes to a close, we are reminded of all the special moments that made up this great year! Together, as a community, we have laughed, cried and accomplished so much! I am extremely proud of SIS and look forward to the growth ahead.
SPECIAL THANKS
I want to take a moment to thank and acknowledge the
2017-2018 PTG
as well as the
2017-2018 School Board
. I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort you have put into making this a successful school year. You have offered support and guidance that have helped strengthen the development of the school. I honestly cannot thank you enough!
I would also like to thank our hardworking staff members. I appreciate your commitment not only to your students but also to the school as a whole. You have worked diligently to provide well-rounded experiences for our kids by acknowledging that education is about joy, wonder and the fostering of curiosity. A job well done!
In addition, I want to thank our parents for the many hours they have given to volunteering on and off campus. Your service is crucial to the success of our school and helps build a strong sense of community.
Finally, I want to thank the students for coming to school excited to learn and grow each day. School is hard work and your commitment deserves acknowledgement. You truly are the reason we are here!
