A LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
As Fr. Rafa mentioned this morning at Mass, when we look to celebrate Valentine’s Day we should look to the idea of LOVE. Love is unconditional and that when we have Friends they should F- fight for us, R- respect us, I – include us, e – encourage us , n- be nice, d is defend and s – stand by their friend.
I love Valentine’s Day and the notion that we can truly rely on each other in this community unconditionally.
This has been a tough but exciting week. Life does not stop, nor do the number of programs that have been occurring in the past few weeks that include the Gala, Catholic Schools Week, Houses, Operation Valentine, Catholic Schools Got Talent, Diocesan Spelling Bees, Untuck for a Buck and more!
On Wednesday, we learned that the Library and IT Lab will be torn down within six weeks to make room for “green space” as we
start construction on a new education building!
Through all this excitement, we are packing up our existing library, preparing to execute our Library and IT programs from our classrooms, and modifying a variety of additional programs that currently use the Library space. What a momentous occasion for our community!
Untuck for a Buck raised over $1,222.00 for tuition assistance this month. This is fantastic, and I’d like to take this opportunity to remind those in need of tuition assistance that the deadline is approaching. Please visit the
Archdiocesan Web Site
for an application or to learn more.
Through it all – you have supported us! We cannot THANK YOU enough!
Finally, this Saturday is Steps for Students! Join your fellow Cardinals for sunrise Mass at 6:30 AM at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, or simply join the group in the village a bit later while waiting for the race to begin. Those registered before January 30 should have received their Steps shirts and Race numbers today. If you registered after January 30, shirts and numbers may be picked up at the general check in table the day of the race.
Happy Valentines Day,
Bernadette Drabek M Ed.
Class of 1975
