Dear SCBA Parents:
It is sad to think this is our final newsletter of the 2020-2021 school year. The school years feel like they move faster and faster! I remember being in school and thinking summer would NEVER get here! Now, it seems like I blinked once and it is summer.
The halls are empty and it is very quiet here. It is definitely different around here in the summer time with all the teachers and scholars gone. With the year coming to a close, SCBA said goodbye to some teachers this past week:
- Mrs. Asta (4th Grade)
- Mrs. Bresette (3rd Grade)
- Mrs. Fessler (2nd Grade)
- Mrs. Lee (6th Grade)
- Mrs. Mulvihill (7th/8th Religion)
- Mrs. Tomes (Music)
We will also be saying goodbye to Courtney Savageau, the parish/school Communications Coordinator. So if there is something you would like to include in the school newsletter, please send it to Rose Hochstatter at [email protected].
Saying goodbye is always difficult. The good news is all the teachers leaving are taking their training and love of the Classical model with them and will be able to share it wherever their new adventures take them. What a gift this will bring to the communities they will be working with this next school year.
