THIS WEEK AT SPES
Your Weekly Parent Bulletin for November 14th - 18th
KICK OFF OF SPES FUND THIS WEEK GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO SHOW YOUR BELIEF IN OUR STUDENTS
Enjoy reading this week's newsletter and seeing some of the reasons WE BELIEVE in SPES. Recently, one of our eighth graders wrote the following in his journal...and when asked if we could publish it, he was more than happy to allow us to share his feelings about SPES with all of you. How can anyone not believe when we read how our children feel about the education they are receiving?
"I am grateful for my education, My parents pay so much to St.Pius for me to get a good education and I love them for that. St.Pius has taught me so many things over the years, like selflessness, gratitude, kindness and respect for others. I thank my parents very much for sending me to Pius and hope they know how much I love them. I learn so many amazing things here, right now i am taking Spanish and I love it - getting to learn another language is awesome. I love learning at Pius, the teachers will always help me prepare for tests, and my friends will always help me study for tests. Pius is a wonderful school filled with smart teachers and amazing students. I hope I never forget my years at St.Pius because it was the best time of my life."
