Principal Notes:

May/June 2008

          Our hearts are full now that the school year is coming to a close.  It is sad to think that Holy Rosary School will not be opening its doors come September.  I have spent my entire adult life within these walls, first as a teacher, and then as principal.   

I will now pour all of my energies and devote the rest of my career to a Catholic school across the Hudson River.  I am excited and happy to be working in a school community like Holy Rosary.  Some of the parents and teachers have already met me and have greeted me with open arms.  I pray every day that everyone on our faculty and staff will also be fortunate to find employment in working environments that will be well suited for them.  As you know, we have very gifted people here at Holy Rosary School, and they deserve the opportunity to be able to utilize their talents to the fullest. 

Our Holy Rosary families have sacrificed so much, and have worked so hard to enhance the education at Holy Rosary by raising funds to implement enrichment programs.  I pray that all of them will place their children in schools that will continue the great work that we have begun.  It will not be easy for the children in the beginning, but soon after they relocate to other schools, they will make new friends and life will go on. And yet I know in my heart of hearts that the children and their parents will never forget us, because Holy Rosary School was truly special.  To quote one of our fifth graders who was alluding to the new school that he will be entering in the fall, “Nobody has what we have, Mrs. Slattery”.  From the mouths of babes….
