THANK YOU MRS. WELLS!
Mrs. Wells retired Friday, February 21, having been a longtime member of our St. Viator community, and we are grateful for her dedication and service. Our school gathered for a prayer and flag ceremony to celebrate Mrs. Wells and offer our prayers for this new chapter in her life. We hope you will join us in expressing our gratitude and best wishes for Carolyn as she embarks on her retirement.
We wish to share that our cherished music teacher will be retiring at the end of this school year. In a personal letter, she has graciously shared her heartfelt decision and reflections on her time with us. We invite you to read her letter and join us in expressing our deepest gratitude for her many years of inspirational service. Please keep her in your prayers as she embarks on the next chapter of her journey!
St. Viator School is thrilled to share the outstanding achievements of our students at the recent All Catholic Schools Diocese Science Fair. Their dedication, curiosity, and hard work have truly paid off, showcasing the remarkable talent within our school community.
· First Place: Congratulations to Melissa E., a 7th grader whose innovative project earned her the top honor. Her commitment to scientific inquiry and excellence is commendable.
· Third Place: Congratulations Cash C. Madison W. & Zuly F., the 7th-grade group project received third place for their inventive creation. This collaborative effort highlights the power of teamwork and shared passion for science.
I am immensely proud of all our students who participated in the science fair. Your enthusiasm, perseverance, and dedication to your projects have been truly inspiring. Each of you has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to learning and discovery, and I am honored to be your teacher.
These accomplishments would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community:
· Staff: A heartfelt thank you to our staff members who volunteered as judges. Your expertise and time were invaluable in providing constructive feedback and encouragement to our young scientists.
· Parents: We deeply appreciate the parents who supported their children through late-night research sessions and facilitated small group meetups. Your involvement and encouragement have been pivotal in guiding our students to success.
The achievements at the science fair are a testament to the passion for learning and the supportive environment fostered by our school community. I look forward to witnessing our students' continued growth and future endeavors in the world of science.
