Letter From Siena
Letter From Siena
“Without work, it is impossible to have fun.”
— Saint Thomas Aquinas
Dear Siena Families and Friends,
As we approach the end of the 2024-25 school year, I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has entrusted us with the education and formation of your children.
It has been my joy to visit our schools and see that our young learners are hard at work and enjoying time with their fellow classmates every day. It also fills me with great pride to see our students engaging with their communities by sharing acts of kindness and service. I’d also like to acknowledge our hard-working staff who commit to their vocation day in and day out, as well as classroom staff, building staff, and system leadership. Everyone is united in steering students to reach their full potential. Our entire Siena Catholic Schools community has worked hard all year to support our mission of “inspiring students who God created them to be.”
While the academic school year might be coming to an end, our commitment to our students’ education and well-being does not end in June. Our summer staff are working hard to ensure the betterment of Siena for our students and families, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall.
In the guidance of Our Lord, I’d like to thank Him for guiding us through yet another school year, and for the blessings He has bestowed upon our schools and the Catholic community. Together, let us embrace the adventure of life with Christ, knowing that with Him, all things are possible. I pray that your summer is filled with wonderful memories and well-deserved rest.
Congratulations to our seniors and eighth graders, the Class of 2025. We're so proud of your accomplishments and look forward to your next adventures!
God Bless,
Dr. Sue
