A LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

Welcome Home!

I hope you have enjoyed Homecoming Week thus far. We began over the weekend, welcoming 38 of the 57 members of the Class of 1969 back to campus for their 50 ^th Reunion.

Homecoming Week is a celebration of all things St. Rose. The activities are centered around team building and school spirit, culminating in our Wednesday afternoon pep rally. Throughout the week, students are encouraged to show their school spirit by participating in school dress-up days, competing in door decorating competitions.

Unfortunately, our football game had to be postponed – but we continue to celebrate tomorrow with Free Dress for Middle School! PK and Elementary Students are welcome to wear jeans with their spirit shirts, as well – because you cannot rain out that Cardinal Spirit!

I thought you would enjoy these photos from the celebrations – despite the weather, we’ve had a great week!

Yours in service,

Bernadette L. Drabek, M.eD

Class of '75
