Principal's Message
May 3 , 2019
Dear Families and Friends of OLQP:
            All great teachers see their work as a calling. It is driven by a desire to help children learn, to shape the future, and to continue to fuel their own love of learning and sharing knowledge. At OLQP, there is an additional prompting. It is a prompting of the Holy Spirit - a call to ministry. It is a love for Our Lord and Blessed Mother and a desire to share the Faith. Teachers are here because they know that the best way to help students achieve success and become the persons God created them to be is to teach the whole child. That means equipping students with the moral compass and the Christian character needed to stay the course. Only the Faith can provide that. Teachers work long hours and many weekends while earning sacrificial wages. They are motivated by striving for excellence for themselves and for their students. Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Please consider taking a moment or two to reach out to your child's teachers to let them know that their efforts are recognized and valued.
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.
