Principal's Message - Oct. 28th (English)
Happy Wednesday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful week. Even though I got to see some fantastic kids at Pretty Eagle Catholic Academy, I missed seeing all of our wonderful kiddos. I am happy to be back. I trust that everyone has had the opportunity to review their child's progress report. I just want to remind you that, if you have any questions or concerns about your child's progress, please do not hesitate to contact the teacher directly. We are all a part of a critical team, focused on success in all areas of each student's life (spiritual, academic, social-emotional, etc.). We need everyone to work together to do the best we can for these kids during the many hours each day that they are in our care. Also, don't forgive to say prayers for our teachers and thank them for all they do!
Have a wonderful week!
Katie Dempsey
Principal

- The Halloween Carnival was a lot of fun for everyone. Something like this takes A LOT of work. Thank you to Nina Tatum for arranging this and to all of the crew who supported it by coming to set up, run events, and break-down/clean up after the event.
- Picture Day takes a great deal of organization. Thank you to all of our volunteers who make this day run as smoothly as possible.
- Hispanic Heritage Festival: This is one of our most popular events at Holy Rosary. A HUGE thanks to the many parents who work tirelessly to practice the dances, create the costumes, run the event, bring meals, and clean up after the event is all over. This is an outstanding event to behold!!
