Family Messenger, May 1, 2012


Lord God,
Bless all who teach us how to live
lives of loving service. Help us to value
the work we are called to do
and the work that others do for us.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
This week we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. This is the perfect time for students and parents to show appreciation to our teachers for the work they do each day. Incarnation is lucky to have such a dedicated faculty and staff. 

This is also my opportunity to thank the teachers and staff at Incarnation for their commitment to our students and to Catholic education. They often go unrecognized for the countless hours they put in to their work both in and out of the classroom, and before and after school hours. Thank you, teachers, for all that you do!

Sincerely,


Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal
