Dear St. Rose Parents,
Friday’s Mass prepared by the Second Grade was a beautiful celebration of their First Communion. This was a joyous occasion since it was the first time they were able to receive Communion with the rest of the student body. The Mass and their participation were sacred and heartfelt. It was a treat to see many parents and families in attendance. I am grateful to Father Krzystof for celebrating the Eucharist for us.
As we move into 2022-2023, we are blessed to have a supportive pastor, Father Michaelraj, and a committed and knowledgeable faculty and staff. Our enrollment has increased for next year with only a few open spaces in Kindergarten and Third Grade all of our other grades are full with long waiting lists.
Our beloved Mrs. Flaherty has decided to retire and spend her time traveling. She has been the Algebra teacher, library and media center specialist, and computer wizard for many years: it will not be the same without her. Mrs. Flaherty can fix any computer problem, find any book, and bring a reluctant reader into the fold. She has a gift of teaching all students and staff alike with patience and kindness. She will be sorely missed every day; I know you all join me in wishing her joy in this next phase of her life.
We will have some staff changes in August. Mr. Calos will teach both Seventh and Eighth Grade Math, and will continue to be our P.E teacher. Mrs. Dueck is the head of our Math Department; she will teach Eighth Grade Algebra and continue to teach Sixth Grade.
Mrs. Teri Devault will join our faculty. She is currently teaching at St. Eugene’s and has done so for many years as the Seventh-Grade teacher, teaching Science, Literature/English Grammar, Religion, and Social Studies. She will take over some of the Seventh-Grade subjects to give me more time as principal. I will continue to teach Seventh-Grade Religion, Spelling, Art, and homeroom. She will also teach Religion to the Sixth Grade.
Mrs. Cheryl Brown will join our faculty as the co-math teacher for the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Grades. She will also lead Reading Groups in Fourth Grade. Mrs. Brown has been the Fourth-Grade teacher at St. Eugene’s for several years. Her first love of teaching is Math, and she is thrilled to have this opportunity to team-teach math at St. rose.
Mrs. Heather Carinalli has worked at St. Eugene’s for many years. She is currently their Athletic Director and Computer teacher. In August, she will become our library and media specialist. She is no stranger to St. Rose since she often helps Ms. KC Paul with athletic events.
We are all excited to have these three accomplished women join our team. We have known these women through many different educational programs for several years, and we look forward to being with them permanently at St. Rose. They are strong advocates for the St. Rose Way and Serviam and are excited to embrace the loving, caring, and kind atmosphere that is the heart of St. Rose School.
Mrs. Linda Szczech will continue to be our Religion Coordinator, guiding us in our faith journey. I am grateful for her knowledge and expertise. She is an excellent liaison with the parish and the diocese for us.
I am excited about our continued firm and vibrant academic curriculum, offering the students a solid educational base to prepare them for the future. With our full classes, supportive pastor, and involved parents the future of St. Rose looks bright for many years to come.
May God continue to surround you and your family with His love.

THANK YOU to our volunteer coaches for being there for our kids and to our parents who yelled, cheered and supported all 700+ kids who participated.
St. Rose was well represented with over 80 student athletes.
