Greetings from Mr. G
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the storm, Open House has been postponed until Sunday, February 6th,
11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Please spread the word!
It has been an eventful and successful week in our halls! I am delighted to say that we have close to 100 percent retention among our current families! Thank you for registering your children at St. Rose School for the 2022-2023 school year. We look forward to continuing this exceptional learning journey together.
Yesterday we conducted a schoolwide safety drill under the supervision of the Newtown Police department. I am very pleased to report that it went as planned; the police were impressed by the professional, serious and thorough manner that all faculty and students displayed. We will be working closely with the police department to ensure that all school safety measures and drills are up to code. The Newtown police department is an excellent resource and we are grateful to have Officer
Perez on site every day. Please continue to discuss the importance of school safety with your children. May God watch over us all.
It's hard to believe but we are starting the second semester. You should receive your child(ren)'s report card via email today. Please direct any questions to teachers. We commend our students for their hard work and perseverance. We are blessed to be in a Preschool-8th grade environment where we can witness student growth from year to year. Studies show the social, emotional and academic benefits of this educational model. And our successful alumni are proof that it bears beautiful fruit.
This is the last call for our $10,000 Tuition raffle. We are just shy of 200 ticket sales so if you haven't already done so, please consider purchasing a ticket. Tell your family members, friends and neighbors too. It's a great opportunity, with great odds. for a great cause. Email questions to Mrs. Moulder, advancement@srles.com. Due to the storm we will draw the winning ticket on Monday, January 31st at 1:00 p.m.
We are excited to celebrate Catholic Schools Week, January 31st - February 6th. Students have made Thank you cards that will be distributed to parishioners at masses
next weekend. We are so grateful to our many supporters whose time, talent and treasure makes it possible for us to offer this amazing educational experience to students in Preschool-8th grade. I love chatting with students when I see them in the halls and no matter if they are in Kindergarten, 6th grade or any other, their answers warm my heart and remind me why I am so committed to working in a Catholic School. I hope you will take time during Catholic Schools Week to ask your children, and yourselves, "What do you love about St. Rose School?" If you'd like to send short video clips of the answers, or photos with captions, we'd love to share them with our school family. Email advancement@srles.com or dean@srles.com
Please read Mrs. B's Adventures in Student Life for a genuine slice of daily life in our halls. Students are thriving! We are looking forward to all of the fun activities planned for next week starting with Spirit day on Monday; students and faculty will wear school colors, red & white, race pigs and cheer for our basketball players and cheerleaders. Let's hear it for St. Rose School and our incredible team of families and faculty working together every day, with God's guidance, to help children BLOOM in mind, heart and soul.
My thanks to everyone who is helping with Catholic Schools Week activities; to all families, parishioners, clergy and religious (especially Monsignor Bob and Sister Thaddeus), our generous supporters and everyone who defines what it means to be a Catholic School. We are truly blessed.
Have a wonderful weekend.
God Bless,
Mr. G
