Cardinals Corner | Edition # 23| February 25, 2021
A NOTE FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

We begin each year with prayer, reflection, and the intention to prepare as much as possible!

Of course, each year has its surprises, and this year is truly no exception. With this fact in mind, I would like to take this opportunity to give a warm Cardinal welcome two long term substitute teachers to our campus.
Mrs. Kernek has joined us in 4A in support of Mrs. Pellerin. Mrs. Kernek has served as a substitute teacher here at St. Rose throughout the year and is a veteran teacher of over 9 years in grades PK – 4. We are grateful to have her expertise and support over the next weeks until we welcome Mrs. Pellerin back in May to close out the year with her students. Mrs. Kernek is truly happy to be here with our Cardinals!
Ms. Oliver joins us as a long term substitute in the Music Department. She is currently filling in for Mrs. Dunaway. Ms. Oliver is a UST Grad (Go Celts!) and has significant experience as a choir and band director at St. Cecelia Catholic School, as well as in HISD. She is very excited to continue the Music program for Mrs. Dunaway!




As Mrs. Kernek and Ms. Oliver settle in, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding these two outstanding teachers.

In our roles, Mrs. Tellier and I will give these teachers full support as they “hit the ground running”. We will work closely with them, ensuring they have everything they need to accomplish a smooth transitioning and continuity with our students. We are grateful to have these qualified teachers join our staff.

Speaking of exceptional alternates for our exceptional teachers, I myself will have a replacement on March 4, 2021 when Kylie W. takes over as “Principal for the Day”. Principal Kylie will be declaring two proclamations (one for her class and one for the school) as well as touring the new building, declaring it “open for business”, and lunching in the Principal’s office. Moreover, Coach Vaden will be joined by Coach Dylyn G. on March 5 as "Coach for the Day"! Thank you to both families for their incredible support at the St. Rose of Lima Gala and Auction.

It's going to be a fun week!
 
Yours in Service,
Bernadette Lombardo Drabek, M. Ed.
Class of 1975

1,500 LBS of Canned Goods to the Food Pantry!

Go Cardinals!
