Dear Parents,
As the year draws to a close on Friday, May 31st, I would like to once again invite everyone to our closing school liturgy at 9:00 AM. Following Mass we will be recognizing our school staff who have served 5, 10, 15 and 20 years at our school. The day will close at 1:00 PM with early dismissal (please note the change from our regular 1:30 PM early dismissal).
Next week
will be our final regular Wolfhound Wednesday for the school year. However, periodically during the summer months there will be a Wolfhound Wednesday with summer updates.
At this time a few additional staff announcements are known for the 2019-2020 school year. Our 4th grade teachers next year will be Miss Brittany Burger and Mrs. Christine Gutridge
(both are current 3rd grade teachers). Joining the
3rd-4th grade team as 3rd grade teachers will be Mrs. Mackenzie Veeder
(current 1st grade teacher)
and Mrs. Julie Boyles (current 1st-2nd grade ESA). We are also excited to announce Mrs. Karen DeLucia will be returning full-time to the teaching staff and will be joining the middle school team as the literacy support teacher. When more staff news is available we will publish it in a summer Wolfhound Wednesday.
We have prayed, we have studied, and we have played, and now it is time to take our summer break to renew, refresh and prepare for the 2019-20 school year.
Thank you for a great year and on behalf of the entire school faculty and staff we wish you a restful, prayerful and fun-filled summer.
Summer Blessings,
Kathy O'Reilly
