This Thursday, Aug. 22: Mrs. CortezGratitude from the past week
- Every single one of you for making our opening events possible from getting food, to decorating, to welcoming our families, to setting up your classrooms and our school. Wow. We are blessed with an amazing team.
- Mr. Victor for moving everything in the school to get our clutter out.
- PreKinder, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for your patience with the AC and quick adaption in your temporary room. AC Company is still getting the parts.
- Ms. Mechtel, Ms. Bazany and Ms. Ortiz for your yes to mentorship with our new teachers.
- Goodwill for taking out a bunch of the cafeteria stuff. It didn't all fit in the truck.
- All of you for those random acts of kindness and St. Therese-doing small things with BIG love---moments that go unnoticed publicly, but keep our community thriving and remind us that God is good (i.e. cleaning the lounge when we leave things, staying behind the end of an event to help clean, washing dishes left behind, jumping in to do someone's duty when life happens, etc.)
I know I have forgotten a thousand other things to be grateful for this past week--there's so much. I thank you all for daring greatly in faith, academics, and service. Keep roaring, dragons!
