Family Messenger June 10, 2008


Lord God,
We will follow you in the quiet of our hearts and in our love for one another.
You have promised to be with us always. We count on your words and bless you forever
for your beautiful promises. May we carry the love we’ve experienced this year
out into the world this summer and always.
Amen.



Dear Parents,

How time flies! It is hard to believe that I am writing the last home messenger newsletter of the school year. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your support during my first year at Incarnation School.

This year has indeed been a learning experience! I have enjoyed getting to know your children, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with our staff. I do believe the school is blessed with wonderful people!
I wish you all a safe and peaceful summer and I look forward to seeing you all next year.

God Bless,



Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal
