News from the Holy Rosary/Juan Diego Community
Message from the Principal: Nov. 21st
Happy Monday!I wanted to take this time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. At Holy Rosary Regional School-Juan Diego Academy, we know that it takes the time, talent, and treasure of all of us to make this school run. We are blessed with an amazing community who is dedicated to the mission of providing a high-quality, innovative Catholic education within a diverse community to all families, regardless of financial ability. To the families who help us everyday in the kitchen, throughout the classrooms, with book fairs, Hispanic Heritage,Thanksgiving Feast and other community events, and in so many ways, I say...THANK YOU! I am truly grateful for all that you do to help us succeed. We could not do it without you. We are doing the very best to provide your child(ren) with all of the tools to make them successful and we appreciate your partnership in this endeavor. I hope that all of you have a wonderful conference with your child's teacher and a fantastic break to enjoy some quality time with your family. Blessings to all of you!
Have a wonderful week!
Blessings,
Katie Dempsey
Principal
