Tomorrow, we celebrate our Pre-K3 and all of their beautiful accomplishments this year from learning how to write and spell their name to identifying numbers and even becoming our youngest barbers! They showed love for God‘s creatures through their care of caterpillars, experimented with slime, and even studied bears! What a joy, it has been to watch our Pre-K3 grow this year into everything God has hoped for them! Congratulations Pre-K3! I cannot wait to celebrate you tomorrow at your step up! May God bless you always!💙💛

Thank you, Mrs. Tina, Mrs. Ivana, Mrs. Heather, and Mrs. Monica! We love you!❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our moms, grandmothers, godmothers, aunts, stepmothers, expectant mothers, and all mother figures who bless the lives of our children with unconditional love and care.

We hold close in prayer all of our moms who are in Heaven, mothers who have lost children, those longing to become mothers, and all who carry both joy and sorrow in their hearts today.

May God bless each of you for the love you share, the sacrifices you make, and the light you bring into the lives of others each and every day. May you feel our Blessed Mother beside you at all times and know that her love is always with you.

Today, it is my honor and privilege to announce Mrs. Polizzi received the All-Star Philadelphia Phillies Teacher Award. Nominated by Eighth Grader, Lucia Gargano, and surrounded by her Eighth Grade Class, colleagues, and former students, this recognition symbolizes a 46 year career that continues to touch countless lives, not only through academics, but through the love, encouragement, and compassion she gives so freely each day to everyone. Lucia said she reminded her of our Blessed Mother because of her strong faith and said she could see the love of Mary shine through her. No truer words were ever spoken. Thank you, Lucia!

Mrs. Polizzi- Thank you for being the kind of teacher who changes lives. Thank you for inspiring me as your student years ago, and for continuing to inspire all of us today. Our school community is so blessed and proud of you!

Congratulations, Mrs. Polizzi, on this incredible honor! You are truly an All-Star in every sense of the word. Bless you, Lucia, for taking the time to recognize Mrs.Polizzi. This act of kindness and love brings us so much joy and celebration for our beloved teacher. We love you both with all of our hearts! 💙💛
