It is hard to believe that another school year is coming to a close.  I am so proud of our school community and what we have been able to achieve over this past year despite the hardships that we faced.  Our students, faculty, and parents have persevered, resulting in so many moments of success. Our in-person and virtual classrooms have been busy with activity this year; so much learning has taken place and so many friendships have been formed. While this year looked different, it truly has been filled with excitement, learning, engagement, and faith.

As a Catholic school and the largest parochial grade school in the Archdiocese of Washington, our purpose is to incorporate the teachings of our faith into the daily life of our faculty and students. This mission has not waivered during the pandemic.  While none of us asked for this new reality back in March, we can now look back with pride on all that we have accomplished. This community has stayed positive, worked tirelessly, and depended on each other to rise above the challenges.

As we prepare for end-of-year celebrations, I remain grateful for the gift of this school year.   If you are a prospective parent exploring our website for the first time, I encourage you to see what makes St. Elizabeth such a special environment for our students by visiting our virtual Open House page or scheduling an appointment to speak with our Director of Admissions.

I hope that you and your family are well and that you remain safe and healthy.

Sincerely yours,  

Mary Penny
