WEEKLY BULLETIN

Holy God,
May we carry the love we’ve experienced this year
out into the world this summer and always.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

A Message from the Principal
As Mrs. Girskis prepares for her new role as Principal of Incarnation School, we are happy to announce some other new staffing arrangements.

Miss Lauren Muscarella, our current 4th grade teacher, will be teaching 1st grade in the fall. Her experiences include many years as a preschool director/teacher in Catholic schools. She has also directed the summer camp at our own preschool, so she is quite familiar with young students.

Mr. Felipe Huizar, our 4th grade assistant for the past four years, will be teaching 4th grade. He knows Incarnation School, the students, and the 4th grade curriculum well. We are happy that he will continue to be a part of our community in this new capacity.

Ms. Jennifer Rickert, our former 4th grade teacher, will return to Incarnation as the preschool – 8th grade music teacher. We are pleased to welcome her back on staff!

Mrs. Karen Rueff, our current 1st grade aide, will be joining Ms. Marriott as the new kindergarten aide. Mrs. Rueff has many years of experience working with kindergarten students.

Mrs. Ingrid Suarez, our current 3rd grade aide, has just completed her certificate in Early Childhood Education and will be joining Miss Muscarella in first grade.

Mrs. Cristina Marrone will continue to assist 5th grade class, but will also assist Mrs. Lomasto in 3rd grade and Mr. Huizar in 4th grade.

This year, we say goodbye to Miss Melanie Klein. Miss Klein has been at Incarnation since 2009 and has worked with 5th grade and kindergarten. She is moving on to complete her student teaching requirement for her teaching credential. We wish her all the best as she continues her professional growth! We will miss you!

We also say farewell to our music teachers, Mr. Chris Yraola and Mr. Paul Angers. We wish them well at their new schools!

As we come to the end of the school year, I would like to thank you for choosing Incarnation and giving us the opportunity to work with you in educating your children. As this is the last newsletter I write for Incarnation School, I would like to thank you for the many well-wishes I have received as I prepare for my next venture. Your support over the years is much appreciated. I will miss Incarnation and its wonderful students and staff and carry very special memories of this community with me.
May God bless Incarnation School always!
Sincerely,


Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal
