Dear Parents and Guardians of St. Francis of Assisi School,
As we begin promotion weekend, I am excited for our tri-parish community to witness the enthusiasm, dedication and passion of our St. Francis of Assisi School families. Our students will come in full uniform to show respect for the values and tradition of our Catholic school community. This is our time to share the good news of Catholic education and the difference it can make not only in the lives of our children, but in our families and in our homes. Together, WE are St. Francis and our collective voices will highlight the good work happening up on the hill.
I attended Mass with First and Seventh Grade classes today at Santa Clara de Asis Church. In the first reading from the book of Samuel, we heard Eli respond to the voice of God by saying, "Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will." This resonated with me as I heard the voice of Fr. Fred inviting me to spend the weekend with him at all Masses to have a conversation during the homily about St. Francis. While Fr. Fred loves spontaneity, I prefer to prepare a written talk to share with the community. God and Fr. Fred have a great sense of humor and I am called to be open.
When I began my journey at St. Francis of Assisi School seventeen years ago, I had not Dared to Dream that this community would become such a big part of my life. I worked at many schools but I would share with my husband that something was different here. I loved coming to work every day and still do. The Spirit of St. Francis has been here through the good and the challenging times and lies in the people who learn, work, support, and serve this community. It is the people - the children, families, staff, pastors and tri-parish communities - that together will continue to build the dream for our children for years to come. Tomorrow our Dare to Dream invitations will be placed in the Thursday folders. I look forward to sharing an evening with you so that together, we can continue to grow our partnership through an honest and open dialogue about how, we as a school community, can pave a new path for the benefit and hope for our children.
Praying to stay in His will,
Jeannette Lambert
Principal
