Dear St. Serra Parents,
This past week St. Serra joined Catholic schools across the nation in celebrating National Catholic Schools Week (CSW), an annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. The week kicked off with our “SERRAbrate Catholic Schools Week Open House” on our beautiful campus. The event was well attended by current families, prospective families, and several ‘drop in’ families. Our teachers and staff did an excellent job in promoting our school and ‘showing off’ the great things our students are doing in the classroom. It was exciting to see how well we demonstrated that everything that we do at St. Serra is geared toward our students and supporting their educational journey.
Throughout the week there were many exciting things happening on campus as part of our celebration of CSW. On Monday, we had the great honor of Bishop T. Nguyen visiting our campus to celebrate Mass with us, along with Fr. Duy, Fr. Thomas, Fr. Michael, Fr. Brandon, and Fr. Jim. The support of so many clergy on our campus professes the importance of our school in the eyes of our parishes. Our student choir and handbells groups also performed beautifully during the Mass, highlighting just a couple of the amazing programs and talent that makes St. Serra so special.
CSW continued on our campus with fun dress-up days and activities, including a school-wide collection for NEGU and a pep rally to promote winter sports. Our wonderful PTO provided treats and surprises for the teachers and staff throughout the week, such as breakfast items, lunches, ice cream treats and flowers. Our amazing St. Serra community of teachers, staff and parents came together to demonstrate and teach our students how to be good citizens, love God and your neighbor, and enrich society by example of faith, thereby demonstrating the CSW theme of “Faith. Excellence. Service.”
There are amazing things going on every single day at our school. We have so many parents involved in some capacity or another, making it a true team effort to provide the very best educational experiences for our students. We, as a staff, are committed to serving our students, our families, and our school in everything we do!
“Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mathew 20:28
Always striving,
Tim Tolzda
Sr. Principal
