Dear St. Isidore Families,
This Friday, May 25th, will be a 12:00 p.m. dismissal and the
Class of 2018’s last day of being picked up in the infamous SIS carpool
. We are blessed to have a school that serves students from TK through eighth grade. Many students began their journey at SIS as small, sweet,
EXCITED
little five-year-olds, and their journey will end as compassionate, educated,
EXCITED
teenagers. St. Isidore School has truly been a home away from home for them and, in essence, is where they have grown up. It has been a gift to be part of their journey!
As the class of 2018 prepares to move on, so do many parents. They too have spent countless hours at SIS. They have worked in the classrooms, chaperoned field trips, served as room moms and dads, and dropped off and picked up their children thousands of times. I appreciate the time, commitment, and love they have shown this school. It has been a gift to be part of their journey as well!
Please know that SIS will always be a
HOME
for you and your children. The following eighth grade families are moving on, and we will miss you!
The Abbes Family
The Barr Family
The Bauman Family
The Bingham Family
The Bonderer Family
