January 2020

Dear Parents & Guardians,

Greetings from Saint Elizabeth School! With the promise of a new year, it is worth noting how many blessings the end of 2019 bestowed upon our St. Elizabeth School community.  December was a busy month indeed, filled with Advent prayer services, Santa's Workshop shopping, service projects, Christmas concerts, and lots of learning. Despite its busy pace, there were so many moments that left an indelible impression on us all as we soaked in the joy of the Christmas Season.

Now, as we begin 2020, I am grateful for the rhythm of these winter school days.  The progress that our younger students have made in the classroom, both academically and socially, is so evident as they confidently move around their classrooms and our halls.  Our fourth and fifth graders have jumped right back into their routines with their teachers, and our middle schoolers are diligently engaging in their studies while reconnecting with each other after a restful Christmas break.  We are ready to embrace this new year together!

As a Catholic school and the largest parochial grade school in the Archdiocese, our purpose is to incorporate the teachings of our faith into the daily life of our faculty and students, and we start our new year with this mission in mind. Our dedicated teachers inspire me in my role as principal and strive to bring out the best in our students. The countless successes of each school day and the accomplishments of our students as they learn and grow here at Saint Elizabeth are ones of which we can all be proud.

During the coming months, I look forward to continuing our partnership as we strive toward excellence in the classroom and rely on our Catholic faith to guide us. Our families are our treasures here at St. Elizabeth School.  Nothing would be the same without your steadfast dedication and support to this school.  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 scheduling a tour or attending one of our open houses.

Happy New Year!  Thank you for your presence, for your dedication, for your talents and gifts that foster the success of our mission.
 
Sincerely yours,

Mary Penny
Principal
