News from your Head of School

Dear Curé of Ars Families,

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the many blessings in our school community. We are especially thankful for your wonderful children, who bring joy, curiosity, and faith to our classrooms each day. Their unique talents and bright spirits enrich our school, and it is a true blessing to watch them grow. We are also grateful for you, our dedicated parents, whose involvement and support help make Curé of Ars a nurturing and vibrant place for all students. This season, our students have been busy living out our mission through service projects, prayerful reflection, and classroom activities that highlight the importance of gratitude and giving. Your efforts at home to instill these values are evident in the kind, thoughtful children who walk through our doors each day. As we enter the Advent season soon after Thanksgiving, let us continue to reflect on our blessings and prepare our hearts for the joy of Christmas. May you and your family enjoy a blessed and restful Thanksgiving, filled with faith, family, and fellowship.
