Dear parents, teachers, and friends of SSP School,

Happy Friday, and welcome to the weekend. Seeing and visiting with so many of you these past several days was a pleasure. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who played a crucial part in the success of the Backpack Blessing Mass, the Organization Fair, and Meet the Teachers Open House. Your presence and support made these events truly special. Seeing the Parent Ambassadors and new families arriving at Mass together was heartwarming. I am deeply grateful to the Richter family for reviving this program and all our veteran families for their role as mentors to our new school families. The PTO's support in providing meals was a great help. A special thanks to June Tessin and Stephanie Wobbe for their creative concept for Sunday!

Seeing so many people on the Lower Lot on Wednesday was great as we continued the time-honored welcome back to school ceremony.  Thank you to Fr. Aaron Nord for blessing us that morning and for blessing everyone in school on Thursday.

I’d like to publicly thank Bridget Judge, Ms. Martha, Mr. Arturo, and Mr. Fidencio; the building has never looked or smelled cleaner in my five-year tenure. So many little and big things were accomplished to showcase our campus this month.

The paving company has wrapped up the repairs on the Livingston Lot—recess as usual beginning on Monday.

We’re thrilled to unveil this afternoon the Marketing Committee's new and improved product, sspeducates.org. This exciting update will provide you with more information and resources. See page 3 of the Notes for more details.

Finally, thank you for entrusting us with your most precious treasure: your children. We look forward to our partnership in supporting you as your children's primary educators. May all we do bring honor and glory to God’s holy name.
