1 Hewlett-Packard Company Newsletter Date From the Art Room September 1, 2016 Important Dates: Dear Parents, The Saints Peter and Paul teachers are getting their classrooms ready. At this time of the year, they take a breath, and reflect on what they do and why they do it. Being a Catholic school teacher is a most rewarding and fulfilling career and life adventure. A Catholic school teacher believes their work is a calling, a vocation, a ministerial opportunity to serve as an ambassador of Jesus and the Catholic Church. Each new school year offers a new beginning for you and your family, too. Here is the chance to prioritize, organize, and create a new family rhythm. Do you find yourselves being pulled in too many directions? Then rethink your priorities. Block out time for family activities that you value most: Sunday Mass, family meals, school work, and visiting relatives. Schedule other activities around your essential ones. You will bring order, balance, and joy to your family life. We thank you, parents, for entrusting your children to us each day. This dedicated faculty and staff pledge that they will do all that they can to ensure a safe, nurturing, and positive learning environment for each and every child. Let us work together! Have a wonderful school year! 9/ 6 New Students Visit (Grades 1-8), 1 p.m. 9/ 7 Grades 1-8 First day of school Full Day Kindergarten and 5-day PreK visit with parents CARES begins 9/ 8 Grades K 8 Full day of School Parent Mtg.
