Family Messenger January 3, 2012




Gracious God,
Feed us with your words of wisdom.
Fill us with gratitude for your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
Amen.



A Message from the Principal

Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope all of you enjoyed the holidays in the company of family and friends.

Days before we left for vacation, contracts for completion of the second phase of the air conditioning project were negotiated. Our contractors have been doing much of the exterior work over the past two weeks, and we anticipate that all second floor classrooms will have the ceiling mounted air conditioning units in by the end of this month. The safety of our students is our first priority. Having worked with this contractor for the electrical upgrade, they are aware of our environment and our needs. All contractors have been background checked and will wear proper identification while on school grounds. Any disruptions to the classes will be minimal. Thank you again for your support of our fundraising efforts to make this year’s-long vision a reality!

Wishing you all the best for a peaceful and blessed new year!

Sincerely,

Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal
