From the Principal

God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.

Psalm 47


Hello Everyone!

Congratulations to all as we celebrate our victory as Capannari’s Coolest School! Thank you so much for supporting this fundraiser and a big thank you to Capannari’s for sponsoring this event.

As we conclude this school year, I want to take a moment to thank each of you—students, parents, teachers, and staff—for the many ways you have contributed to our vibrant and faith-filled school community. This year has been filled with learning, laughter, and spiritual growth. We have witnessed God’s grace at work in our classrooms, hallways, and hearts.


I especially want to thank Fr. Presta, and Fr. Hank, whose regular presence in the school and support of the school is extraordinary, and have had such a positive impact on our students. Thank you to Sr. Danielle and Mrs. Caldrone for their work with the children throughout the year. I also want to give a special shout out to Mr. Rick who does so much for our community. Special thanks to FSA, School Board, Athletic Board, and the parents who volunteer to help at events or come regularly to help with lunch duty and recess.  We are blessed to have such wonderful support.  


  • To our students: You have grown in wisdom and faith, and I am very proud of all your hard work. May you carry the lessons you’ve learned this year into a summer filled with joy and discovery.
  • To our parents and guardians: Thank you for being our partners in Catholic education. Your trust, involvement, and support have been essential to everything we’ve accomplished.
  • To our amazing teachers and staff: You have given so much of yourselves to nurture our students—mind, body, and soul. Thank you for living the mission of Catholic education so beautifully.


As we head into summer, I pray that it will be a time of rest and renewal for all. May you enjoy the sunshine, the company of loved ones, and the quiet moments where you can feel God’s presence. I look forward to welcoming everyone back in August, ready for another wonderful year of faith, learning, and community.


What a beautiful graduation mass and ceremony last Thursday!  All the best to an awesome class as they move on to high school.

With our growing enrollment, I am pleased to welcome 7 new teachers to our staff; Ms. Zina Danno (4th grade), Mrs. Kathy Donaghy (East Wing), Ms. Amanda Goczkowski (2nd grade), Mrs. Holly Gange (PreK-3), Mrs. Colette Harlan (Kindergarten), Mrs. Kristen Kresca (East Wing), and Mrs. Renata Sosin (East Wing).


Wishing you a blessed and joyful summer!


Ms. Booth
