St. Christopher School

Dear Parents and Friends of St. Christopher School,

Although this winter has been kind to us, the darkness, and cold can sometimes take its toll.  Be reassured that spring’s light is but a few months away.  In the meantime, we dress warmly and head outside for some winter fun.  Skating, skiing and sledding with the children lifts the darkness and gets us through.  I’ve always felt that seeing the world through our children’s eyes gives us a way to create our own light even in the darkest of times.  Hence, regardless of the season, the Light shines; God is in our midst.

I am thrilled to report that over 60 families attended our Open Houses held in December and early January.  We are still doing many tours each week.  With registrations continuing to pour in, available seating is becoming scarce.  In fact, our kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2 classes are nearly full and waiting lists will be substantial.  We would like to thank you for your support in promoting St. Christopher School among your friends, neighbors and acquaintances.  Your contributions to the school community never go unnoticed and are our treasure!

Dear St. Christopher Families and Friends,

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. And we say his glory – glory as of the only begotten of the Father – full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)

Time has really flown for me in my new position as St. Christopher Principal.  I can truly say that I have enjoyed the past few months. The days get hectic and sometimes I am very overwhelmed with so much to do, but it only takes one “Hello Mrs. Clarke” to warm my heart and think that God has put me here for a reason. You hear this from me frequently; however it is worth repeating to each and every one of you again…you and your children are truly a gift to me. God has blessed me with the gift of being Principal here…I am so fortunate to have answered His call to this ministry. I consider us to be a family, the family of St. Christopher School and Parish. I am truly blessed to be a part of this family. I hope that in some small way, I have been a gift to you, your child, or your family, these past few months.

As the holiday season approaches I hope you share my goal of taking a breath, being appreciative, and having some meaningful time with family. In education we are thankful for the opportunities to impact young lives. Our students are the reason we’re here. Their learning and progress is the school’s mission.
