Dear Parents
I simply cannot believe this is our last WCE for the
2009-2010 school year! We’ve had a wonderful year,
enjoyed events both new and traditional, weathered
economic challenges together, and had a lot of fun!
Tomorrow night we will offer our fantastic group of eighth
graders our blessings as they graduate. Their
kindergarten counterparts will follow shortly behind on
Tuesday. They have grown so much this year and we
always love to see their big graduation moment! Next
week is also full of class parties, the popular Moving Up
Day when students get to meet their new teachers, and our
final mass together (to which you are all invited).
Soon it will be time to switch gears and enjoy a slower
pace for awhile. Whether you’re staying home this
summer or traveling far away, I wish you and your family
many blessings for summer rest and relaxation. You
all deserve it!
We will periodically send announcements to you, including
information about when to expect the annual summer
newsletter, reminders about the uniform exchange, and
other important news and updates. Please be sure to
keep your e-mail address current on SchoolSpeak so you get
all the summer bulletins!
As we wrap up our year, I’d like to once again say
“Thank you!” to each of you for the many contributions
you parents made to the St. Lucy School community this
year. Your time, energy, positive spirit, and
support have made this a great year, and each of you has
brought so much to your child’s school experience, both
directly and indirectly. Thank you for all your time
and volunteerism. You make St. Lucy School the
wonderful, warm place it is!
With gratitude for all you do,
Jennifer Martin
