Greetings from Mr. G
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and restful break. Covid continues to challenge us but I know that together we will find the hope and help our students BLOOM.
Mother Nature showed her might this week. Delays and cancellations are a good reminder to check that the office has your most recent contact information. We have committed to elearning on snow days to ensure that we do not have to add extra days in June. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Despite some interruptions we accomplished a lot in our halls this week. We are delighted to share that Mrs. Rahtelli received a $1,500 grant from Foundations in Education to implement a science program in Kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year. And, Mrs. Vitetta was granted $750 to bring an Imagination Reading program to First grade the same year. Our teachers go beyond to make their classrooms and lessons meaningful and memorable.
Sixth graders presented a myriad of fascinating projects about Egypt and The Feast of the Epiphany was especially beautiful as some of our classes celebrated with Advent Angel gift exchanges, placing hay out for the camels and learning the significance of the gifts brought by the three kings. Beautiful artwork was made to depict the journey as well. It is a blessing to be in a dynamic learning environment with a strong faith component.
Next week our Middle School students will begin Mid Terms. You can find the schedule below. Teachers will be in touch with details. It's always helpful for students to get a good night's rest and eat a healthy breakfast for Mid Terms.
Our Open House is scheduled for January 30th, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. We look forward to meeting many prospective families. In the meantime, registration for current families is moving along -- it is our hope that you will all stay with us for the 2022-2023 school year. If you haven't yet, please register at the reduced fee of $150 to save your child's seat. This offer is open until January 21st at which time registration will open to the public for a $250 fee and at that time we can no longer guarantee seats. Please email Mrs. Coppola, admissions@srles.com, with any questions.
We look forward to making Catholic Schools Week special for our school family. Plans are underway for Covid friendly activities -- we will keep you posted. Remember, our $10,000 Tuition Raffle drawing is January 30th. I hope you will consider buying a ticket -- it's a great opportunity, with great odds, for a great cause, the Blooms Fund. You can email Mrs. Moulder with any questions, advancement@srles.com. Please share the word with your friends and family so we can sell all 350 tickets. Thank you.
The faculty and I are so grateful for your kind wishes and generous gifts at Christmas. Your support is truly uplifting and most appreciated. We are thankful for the strong presence, participation and partnership of our HSA . May God bless you and your families with health and happiness throughout the year.
It looks like the sun will shine this weekend and there's fresh snow on the ground, a perfect combination for family fun. Please send photos of your children playing in the snow to dean@srles.com and/or advancement@srles.com. Enjoy!
God Bless,
Mr. G
