News and Notes
Happy first week of Advent!
As we approach this festive season, we are reminded that the word Advent comes from the Latin word meaning 'coming.' Advent is the season when we prepare for the coming of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
I wish you all a very blessed Advent season, may each day be filled with joy and peace.
Warm Regards,
Tracy Strub
Our New Grade 5 through 8 Math Teacher
It is with great enthusiasm that I share with you the hiring of Mr. Steven Farkas, our new Math teacher for students in Grades 5 to 8. Mr. Farkas will remain at Sacred Heart Grade School for the duration of the school year while Ms. Garcia is on maternity leave.
Mr. Farkas earned a Bachelors of Science in Nuclear Engineering from Rensselaer Polytech Institute, a Masters of Business Administration in Accounting with a focus on probabilities and statistics from Tulane University and is currently finishing a Masters of Arts in Teaching Mathematics at Fordham University. Mr. Farkas has successfully worked in the engineering field for the past three decades and is looking forward to his new career in teaching. We are excited to have Mr. Farkas join the faculty of Sacred Heart Grade School.
Please join me in welcoming him to our school community.
