Hello from St. Marguerite
Happy Summertime! It’s hard to believe that the 2018-2019 school
year has come to a close! I feel so blessed to have become part of the
St. Marguerite Bourgeoys school community this year. Our new staff was
made to feel so welcome, and students and returning staff were so
helpful. Thank you all for making this such a vibrant and engaging school
community!
First, I’d like to thank
our St. Marguerite Catholic School Community Council (CSCC) for their many
efforts to build community and support teachers and students this past
year. They have hosted fundraisers, dances, meals and craft sales
throughout the year. Additionally, they have supported families with some
school supplies and teachers with classroom materials and projects. They
have also reached out to partner with local community school to provide muffins
and snacks for their nutrition program. The impact our CSCC has on our
school is significant, and we could not be as successful as we are without
them.
Second, I’d like to extend
a thank you to our staff this year, for their commitment to providing a quality
education to their students, but also for volunteering their time to provide
students with extra-curricular activities. Our teachers and staff love to
get to know and relate to students outside of the classrooms, so its win,
win! Their passion for teaching and their love of children truly shines
bright in this school. I would also like to wish our departing staff many
blessings as they embark on new adventures! Ms. Herauf, Mrs. Weber, Mrs.
Belair, and Mrs. Tremblay – your light has shone brightly at St.
Marguerite! Thank you for sharing it with us. We will miss you.
Third, parents and
guardians . . . we could not do this without you! Thank you for keeping
us well informed about your children, and for the education and support you
provide them with at home. All of those minutes you spend reading with
your children, helping with math questions, learning sight words, assisting
with a project, and checking in on homework, directly support their success at
school.
Finally, I’ve been so
impressed with our students this year! They have worked so hard to learn
and be successful this past year. They have grown socially and emotionally,
and have shown responsibility, discipline and compassion for others. They
have shown that they can work through mistakes, problem solve, ask for
forgiveness and forgive others. I have been a witness to many positive
actions and words among students around St. Marguerite. Thank you
students, for letting your light shine!
We will see you on August 29th for the Backpack drop, and
then on September 3rd for the first day of the
2019-2020 school year! God Bless you all, and may this summer bring you
sunshine, joy, rest, and contentment.
