Say to the Lord, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust." (Psalm 91:2)
This is a good reminder, especially in times of turmoil and anxiety, that our trust and confidence should always be in the Lord.
It's hard to believe the end of October is almost here! We are so blessed to have had no major issues with COVID during this part of school, and I just want to thank you all for your attentiveness to the guidelines in place and encourage everyone to keep up the great work.
We are about a month away from the end of the trimester. Grades can be an important measure of how a student is progressing, but they are not the only measure. I know that all of our teachers are more interested in each student doing their best, than the grade at the end of term. Our primary goal as a Catholic school is not to have your child earn good grades; we want them to grow into men and women of faith and virtue, prepared to enter the next stage of their lives. We hope that they come to school ready to learn because they wonder about the beautiful gift of creation that God has given us, and they are in awe of the love that Jesus shows us each day. The Catholic Church has always taught that parents are the primary educators of their children. Our school serves to assist you in the role, and by working together, we can have the greatest impact. I encourage you to check up on your child in a way that fits their needs. For a younger child, they may need more assistance, while an older child may need to practice taking initiative. Some students may be able to work independently, while others will need more support - even in the same classroom. Each student is unique, and each is a beautiful child of God.
Blessings,
Mrs. Longden
