Greetings from Dr. G
The Blooms Benefit honoring Sister Thaddeus was a festive, heartwarming evening where people from all walks of Sister's life gathered to recognize her years of service and dedication to Catholic education. It was especially uplifting to see so many alumni and current St. Rose School families enjoying conversation, reminiscing and sharing their enthusiasm for this special place where children bloom in mind, heart and soul. Sister is the golden thread that weaves us all together. It was a night to remember thanks to the hard work of our enthusiastic Blooms committee. I am most grateful to Mrs. Laura Moulder for her vision and implementation of this exceptional event which was also a succesful fundraiser. The numbers are still being crunched but our net results look very promising and will be announced at the November 10th State of the School meeting. Thanks to all of our generous donors and shoppers -- every contribution makes a difference and enables us to continue providing a stellar academic, faith focused education for your children.
God has given us an exceptionally beautiful Fall and with it comes a variety of themed lessons and activities as well as ongoing service projects. A highlight this week was the Preschool Harvest Fair courtesy of volunteer parents who turned the Preschool playground into an enhanting, leaf covered land of exciting games and activities. Our littlest learners were filled with delight.

This week Monsignor Bob was recognized by Catholic Charities for his outreach on so many levels. In his speech he shared that there is good in everyone. Aren't we blessed to have people like Sister Thaddeus and Monsignor Bob in our community sharing God's love and helping us all find the good within.
Great news arrived at the end of today -- the school collected a total of 354 coats for the Knights Coat Drive and Kindergarten was the top collector with 145 coats. This is wonderful work. Your generosity will warm many people during the cold winter months. Thank you for your generosity.
I hope many families will attend Trunk or Treat tonight. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.
God Bless,
Dr. G
