Hello Falcon Family,
My name is Tim O’Loughlin and I am the new St. Christopher School principal. I finished my first week on campus and I could not be more excited to be back for week two! I just wanted to share a few things with you after my first week.
Eighth Graders:
Congratulations on your graduation and good luck in the next phase of your journey! I know the Lord has big plans for you. Thank you for choosing St. Christopher. We hope you will stay in touch and visit often!
Kindergartners:
Congratulations to you too! I am very much looking forward to meeting all of you in the fall. We screened your underclassmen last week. They are quite excited about being kindergartners, but also a bit nervous. Remember, they will be looking up to you next year!
Fall Plans:
- We will be praying for the best, but planning for the worst.
- We will create at least 3 potential plans: a full opening (with 100% in-school learning), a full closure (with 100% at-home/distance learning), and a blended opening (a mix of in-school and distance learning).
- While Governor DeWine said schools will open in the fall, he provided very few details. Much will change between now and August.
- We will share our ideas and plans as they develop, and you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas.
In closing,
let us pray to St. Christopher for his intercession for all those affected by the Coronavirus. Did you know that St. Christopher is one of the 14 Holy Helpers? The 14 Holy Helpers were a team of saints invoked to defeat The Black Death in the 14th century.
"Grant, we ask, almighty and merciful God, that we who keep the memory of Thy blessed martyr Christopher, by his pious merits and intercession may be delivered on earth from perpetual death, sudden plague, famine, fear, poverty, and from all the snares of our enemies; through Thee, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, and King of glory, whom the same Christopher merited to bear upon his shoulders."
- prayer from the Sarum Rite 11th Century
St. Christopher, pray for us!
God Bless & Go Falcons!
Mr. O'
