Dear Parents,

Wow!!! What a whirlwind year! I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of the 2009/10 school year. So much has happened this year. Thanks go to all the people - PTO, staff, parents, grandparents, children, etc who have graciously volunteered their time and talents to make Holy Family School a nurturing environment for our children. I know I’m leaving out many events, but I’d still be typing if I included all of them.

• Summer Ice Cream Social to welcome new staff and families to HFS
• Boo Hoo Breakfast
• Family PTO picnic
• Open House
• First Friday Masses
• Halloween Float

Again, I know I left many events out of the list, but it is important to realize how many opportunities our children are exposed to. Thanks for all the help and support.

I hope you had the opportunity to attend the Dessert Theatre Show last week. The students put a lot of time and effort into preparing their acts. The audience seemed to love the performances as the children gave their “all.” Thanks to Ms. Buckley, Rhett Genung (lighting and sound) and all the other people who made this event possible.
