St. Patrick Cathedral School News

June has arrived!!! Where has this year gone? It has been a wonderful year of meeting new friends; renewing old ties and having the opportunity to use the gifts God has given in order to learn to the best of our abilities. The 8th graders have grown into young men and women who are ready to move on. We can be confident that we have given them not only an excellent education which will help them to excel wherever they go June has, but they will leave this school with a knowledge that their faith and trust in God will lead them through their lives. They were privileged to have had Father Tad teach Religion lessons and help them come to know Gods unique relationship with each one of them. They are all very special and we are deeply grateful to their parents for allowing us a part in shaping their lives. We are confident in their abilities to use Christ as their exemplar to help them with the decisions ahead. We will no doubt miss each of them, I’m sure they will come to visit, and so we will just say as Father Tony so often reminds us, God bless you and be kind to one another!!! Best of luck in whatever your futures may hold.

Congratulations:
We want to congratulate Liliana Chong Cuy from Mrs. Gozzo’s fourth grade class for being chosen from over one thousand entries submitted for the Secretary of State’s 2008 Connecticut Poster Contest. Liliana was selected as one of the first place winners. The judges had selected just five winners in each of the five Congressional Districts. Liliana went to the State Capitol to receive her award including a congratulatory certificate. We are very proud of her.

Kindergarten Program:
As our kindergarteners get ready to move “upstairs” we want to wish them well. They’ve grown so much over this year. To show us how much they’ve learned and progressed they will present their year-end program next Friday, June 6th. Family members should let Mrs. Pierse know who will be attending. Many thanks go out to Mrs. Pierse and Mrs. Savitsky for their efforts with these children this year.

New HSA Officers:
Congratulations, to our new H.S.A officers. Mrs. Robin Sieczkowski will be acting as the new president; Mrs. Egbert will be in the office of vice-president, Mrs. Schenking will be the new secretary, and Mrs. Michalene Lee will remain as treasurer. We wish them the best of luck, they have very big shoes to fill, and I’m sure will do a fine job.

The Wizard of Oz:
Congratulations to Mrs. Gozzo, Mrs. Pupillo, Mrs. Whitehead, and Mrs. Moore and all those talented students who participated in the Wizard of Oz school production. Your hard work was in evidence as we all enjoyed your performance. I know the teachers are also grateful to all the parents who lent a helping hand. We continue to be successful due in great part to the support of all our families. Bravo everyone.

Happy Fathers Day:
We want to wish all our Dads a very happy Fathers Day. We hope you are able to relax as you begin the summer.

This Hand I Hold

This hand I hold I touch it now for all eternity, and knowledge that I share I give from me to you. In hope that all you do and say reflects the lessons learned, and all the awards that you receive are ones that you have earned. I am your present teacher and your true friend, but when the year is over my thoughts of you won’t end. For in my dearest memory forever you will be, and when you go I hope that you will take a part of me. This hand I hold I touch it now for all eternity, and the knowledge that I share I give from me to you.
