Dear Catholic School Family,

This afternoon, a press release containing information
about important decisions affecting certain Catholic schools
in the archdiocese was posted on the
Superintendent’s website www.adnyeducation.org.
The press release can be downloaded and printed.

While our school may not be directly impacted by this news,
please take the time to read the press release
to better understand these decisions.

I thank you for your continued support and commitment
to Catholic education, and ask that you keep all
Catholic schools in your prayers.

Sincerely,

Andrew G. Woods, principal

Week of January 10, 2011 Announcements

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters,
your brothers, the school,
the teachers - but never blame yourself.
It's never your fault.
But it's always your fault,
because if you wanted to change
you're the one who has got to change
.
Katharine Hepburn

Week of January 3, 2011 Announcements

“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round,
as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time;
the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year,
when men and women seem by one consent to open
their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them
as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave,
and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.”
— Charles Dickens
