Sister Says...
Each week, our principal, Sister Denise Thompson, blogs about different happenings at All Saints Catholic School. Check out what's on her mind this week:
May 15, 2013
Our Band/Orchestra Spring concert last night was just wonderful. The students played very well – you can really tell they have practiced and worked hard to play as a team and not as individuals. Thank you to Mrs. Druffner and to Mrs. Vickery for conducting and working with these students. We are very, very blessed to have as solid a music program as we have here at All Saints. We continue to be the only school with a string orchestra.
We had our last Principal coffee for the school year. There were just a handful this morning but we had great discussions regarding the school schedule for next year, teachers, etc. Our coffees will continue next year. The dates will be published in the calendar.
Speaking of school schedules, I know that it is no big surprise that there has been lots of discussion over the last few years regarding the need to make some changes in our schedule to accommodate more Math and Language Arts. I am going to attach in Saintly Notes the rough drafts of two generic schedules. Obviously what you will see are examples of the perfect timelines. The most significant changes are that the school day will end at 3:20 and that we have “unblocked” Math and Science in the Middle School. Of course your child’s schedule will look appropriate to his or her grade level and those will be available at the beginning of school.
We’re all anxious to find out who will be our new pastor. I am trying to get hints from Bishop Mark but it’s not working too well. The one thing he has said is to stay tuned…we should hear soon, maybe this weekend?
I hope you have a great week. Please continue to pray for me – and know that I pray for you each day.
Blessings! Sister Denise
