News From the Principal

 






Dear Saint Jeanne's Families,

         I hope you had a beautiful Christmas and New Year's  holiday season and had the opportunity to celebrate and share your many blessings with loved ones.  The month of December absolutely flew by, and I can't believe we have started the new year! 
    December was filled with many activities including our Temecula Christmas Light parade in which we took first place, the first trimester Awards Assembly, SJDLS Sports Awards, Feast of the Immaculate Conception Mass, Santa visits, Christmas Dance Production, Saint Jeanne's full school Christmas Tales Production, Alumni Christmas gathering, and  Christmas vacation!  As always, the month's highlights were exceptionally beautiful in every way.  The Christmas dance recital and full-school play really set the tone for the season.  Thank you to our teachers and directors Ms. Sims and Ms. Sequeira for all of their hard work.
           We are looking forward to 2017 with great joy as we prepare for the exciting days to come as we expand into the high school.  This month we will be preparing for the annual Talent Show, Catholic Schools Week, the Nun Run, and our Accreditation Visit!  Let us pray together for a joy-filled, peaceful year ahead.          
A New Year's Prayer
Lord, You make all things new.
You bring hope alive in our hearts 
and cause our Spirits to be born again.
Thank you for this new year -
for all the potential it holds.
Come and kindle in us a mighty flame
So that in our time, 
many will see the wonders of God 
And  live forever to praise Your glorious name.
Amen
       In closing, we thank you parents for your joy-filled partnership in the formation of your children.
In the Company of Mary Our Lady,

Mrs. K Mora     Principal
