Happy Thanksgiving Break! I know our students, teachers, and families have been greatly looking forward to having a week to relax and refresh ahead of the three-week sprint to Christmas Break and it is finally here!
At this time of year, I cannot help by express my own personal thankfulness for our community and school. I am proud to work with an incredibly dedicated, caring, and talented faculty and staff who put kids first and make the St. Petronille experience special every day. I am appreciative as well for our parents and families, who do a wonderful job generously partnering with us and supporting us in our mission to form our students spiritually, academically, and in service. I am also very thankful for having a supportive parish staff, led by Fr. Jerome, who work for the betterment of all of St. Petronille Parish, including our school. There are so many people who go above and beyond in our school community and who care deeply about and support our effectiveness, the experience we offer, and the formation we provide. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
While I know that many of you will be around on Monday for parent-teacher conferences, I hope that everyone is able to enjoy a wonderful break with their families and friends, and that we can come back on December 2nd ready for another great week of school at St. Pets!
Happy Thanksgiving!
God bless,
Eric Schmidt
Principal
