Greetings from Dr. G
Happy New Year! It was wonderful to see your children back in our halls this week as we embark on 2024 and anticipate the exciting learning adventures and discoveries we continue to make on this educational journey together. On behalf of the faculty, thank you for your generous gifts and kind sentiments for Christmas. Your support means so much to us.
January is a busy month! Open House is around the corner on the 21st followed by Catholic Schools Week January 28th - February 2nd. Plans are underway and details will be forthcoming but for now one thing I will highlight is that Mass that week will be on Wednesday January 31st, please join us if you can.
As of today more than 2/3's of our current families have registered for the 2024-2025 school year. I am delighted to hear this as you are our top priority. If you haven't already done so please go to your School Admin account and register before the January 20th deadline. At that point registration will open to the public and we can no longer guarantee seats. It is my hope that every one of our current students will be with us next year. If you have questions please email Mrs. Mok, admissions@srles.com.
All eyes are on the weather forecast for this weekend. As a reminder, our snow day policy is that the first three snow days are traditional, i.e., school is closed. We have already used one of these. In the event of a closure next week the day will be traditional. Once three days have been spent this way we will resume elearning to ensure that our school year does not extend too far into June. School cancellations are sent via text, email and phone so please be sure your information is correct in the school system. Thank you.
Congratulations to our boys and girls basketball teams who had great victories this week. Thanks to all who are attending the games to cheer them on. The RAMS spirit is alive and our cheerleaders bring such joy to the court. My thanks to all of the parent volunteers who are giving your children these opportunities. Over the break a new floor was installed that includes a bright new logo. We are grateful to Monsignor Bob for this parting gift and to Mr. Fournier for identifying the vendor at a reasonable cost. As you know, the Monsignor Weiss Gathering Hall is utilized for a myriad of activities so the upgrade was most needed and much appreciated.
This morning's Mass was beautiful and as a special touch Monsignor Bob blessed the rosary beads made by a seventh grade student who will in turn give them out. Service is such an integral part of life in our halls, giving students hearts for the Lord and others. We are blessed to be able to live out our faith daily which makes quite a difference in the minds, hearts and souls of our students now and in the future.
Here are upcoming dates to note:
January 12th -- Early dismissal (11:30 a.m. for Main School, 11:15 a.m. for Preschool) for Professional Development
January 21st -- Open House 1-3 p.m.
January 28-February 2nd -- Catholic Schools Week
February 16th -- Early dismissal day, 11:30 a.m main school, 11:15 a.m. Preschool
February 19th -- School closed, President's Day
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe in the storm.
