Dear SPC Families,
Words cannot begin to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for all your kind well wishes and notes. I will forever remember my surprise send-off yesterday and the beautiful notes shared with me by the children. Leaving SPC is truly one of the most difficult choices I have made in my career; it has been my second home for the past 7 years and a place my children also call home. It has been the greatest honor to watch your children grow, and I am grateful for the trust you placed in me to lead the school. I have been honored to work alongside the amazing and talented teachers who I am now proud to call friends. I pray that you will strongly consider Saint Viator High School when it comes to choosing a high school–we are only a few steps away on the Metra line (I know, shameless plug). And now for a few final notes:
- For those of you who got the whistle in the drop-off line, I hope you have learned from your mistakes and know you will not make that mistake again. I have warned Mr. White of the SPC expectations in the kiss-and-go line, so be warned!
- To the many, many parent volunteers who coach, supervise recess, help with security, chaperone field trips, volunteer at HSA events, and serve on advisory boards, thank you! Your energy and passion for SPC truly make this community one of the best!
- Please be nice to Mr. White for his first Fun Run Incentive (don’t put him on the roof)
- To the faculty, staff and students–you are the greatest gift and true heart of the school! SPC is a beautiful place to learn and grow because of your energy, hard work, and dedication.
- Remember, no u-turn on Summit during drop off and pick up
- To Father James and Father Britto, with whom I have been honored to work, I am eternally grateful for the trust you placed in me to lead this incredible school.
Lastly, to our amazing students, I have been honored to be your principal, and it truly has been a joy watching you all grow! I look forward to hearing about all you accomplish and will forever keep you in my prayers!
Please don’t be strangers; you know where to find me (Saint Viator [email protected])
