A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM MRS. SHARKEY

As we prepare for Christmas, we can feel the excitement and anticipation throughout the hallways of Holy Family. Our students are enjoying spirit week activities while also reflecting on the true meaning of the season.

I would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Gretchen Biebel, who has been an invaluable member of our school community. Ms. Biebel has accepted a full-time teaching position in another GRACE school. While we are processing through a candidate to be our new media specialist to oversee the library and media center. Ms. Biebel's absence will be deeply felt.

We are excited to announce that we are also processing through a candidate to be our full-time Spanish teacher. We are grateful to Mrs. Jennie Giesler for her unwavering dedication and support in ensuring that our students continued to have Spanish classes these past few weeks. It’s been an honor to witness that Holy Family is such a strong and supportive community that works together to elevate our students.

May God bless you and your family during this Christmas season. May your Christmas be filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories with your beautiful families. We are grateful for each and every one of our students, families, and staff members and look forward to continuing to grow and learn together in the new year.

Cálidos saludos navideños de parte de la Sra. Sharkey de Holy Family School

Mientras nos preparamos para la Navidad, podemos sentir la emoción y la anticipación en los pasillos de la Sagrada Familia. Nuestros estudiantes disfrutan de las actividades de la semana espiritual y al mismo tiempo reflexionan sobre el verdadero significado de la Navidad.

Me gustaría aprovechar esta oportunidad para expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a la Sra. Gretchen Biebel, quien ha sido un miembro invaluable de nuestra comunidad escolar. La Sra. Biebel aceptó un puesto docente de tiempo completo en otra escuela GRACE. Mientras procesamos un candidato para ser nuestro especialista en nuevos medios para supervisar la biblioteca y el centro multimedia. La ausencia de Biebel se sentirá profundamente.

Nos complace anunciar que también estamos procesando un candidato para ser nuestro profesor de español de tiempo completo. Agradecemos a la Sra. Jennie Giesler por su inquebrantable dedicación y apoyo para garantizar que nuestros estudiantes siguieran teniendo clases de español estas últimas semanas. Ha sido un honor ser testigo de que Holy Family es una comunidad tan fuerte y solidaria que trabaja en conjunto para elevar a nuestros estudiantes.

Que Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia durante esta temporada navideña. Que su Navidad esté llena de amor, risas y recuerdos preciados con sus hermosas familias. Estamos agradecidos por todos y cada uno de nuestros estudiantes, familias y miembros del personal y esperamos continuar creciendo y aprendiendo juntos en el nuevo año.
