Message from the Principal: April 12th
Happy Wednesday!
We are walking the journey of Holy Week, in preparation for the biggest celebration of the year for Catholics...Easter! We take this opportunity to not only reflect on Jesus' love and sacrifice for each and every one of us, but also the belief that Jesus overcame death through His sacrifice on the cross, thus granting us eternal life. This is the best gift we can ever receive. It is my hope that all of you have a wonderful Easter and that next week provides you the opportunity for some rest, relaxation, and quality time with family and friends.
Have a blessed week!
Blessings,
Katie Dempsey
Principal

Welcome, Ms. Juliet!
We have hired a wonderful teacher for the 2nd Pre-K 4 lead teacher position for next year. Her name is Juliet Quintero Ramirez and she is from Bogota, Colombia. She is a certified teacher with a background in both Pre-K and bilingual education. She speaks Spanish, English, and French, as well as some Portuguese and Italian! We are very excited to have her on staff!! She will be teaching the smaller group of 10 Pre-K 4 students, while Ms. Sonia and Ms. Patty will work with the larger group. Ms. Raquel will be joining Ms. Nuria for our second section of kindergarten. The school is growing!! How exciting!
