“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

Dear St. Stan’s Families:

On Tuesday we celebrated World Kindness Day, students have been taking the time to recognize students who have done acts of kindness amongst us. We are displaying those notes on the wall towards the cafeteria and it is truly heartwarming to see students noticing each others goodness. What a better world we would leave in if we could all take the time to do this.

As we enter the Thanksgiving week, I want to mention a couple of items. On Monday, November 19th we will have makeup picture day as well as team and full year club pictures. NO gym uniforms should be worn that day, regular uniforms only. If your child is a member of one of the AA basketball teams or cheerleaders please have them bring their uniforms for AA separately and we will allow them to change before their picture.

On a similar note this is a reminder that students have recess everyday outside. The only way they stay inside for recess  is if the temperature falls below 32 degrees or there is precipitation. Please be sure your child comes to school with the proper outerwear so they can enjoy the fresh air and the opportunity to escape work and get some exercises.

Wednesday, November 21st we will have our annual Benefactors Mass where we celebrate those people who are so generous to our school. The Mass is at 9am and we welcome you to join us. November 21st is an early dismissal day and one of the few days during the year that we do NOT have aftercare.  

Since I will not be sending out a Thursday letter next week, I want to take a moment to let my school family (you) know how thankful I am to have you in my life. You are each a true blessing. My prayers for health, happiness, joy and prosperity are with you this Thanksgiving and each and every day of the year.

In His Peace,

Elena Malinconico, Principal
