Letter From Siena
Letter From Siena
“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it.”
— Saint Mother Teresa
Dear Siena Families and Friends,
I hope this letter finds you well and that you're as excited as I am about the incredible start to this school year. As I’ve visited all of our schools over the past few weeks, it has been truly amazing to see our students engaged in learning and living our faith. Their energy and enthusiasm are a constant reminder of the special community we are all a part of.
Your trust in our mission of Faith Forward Education is a responsibility we take to heart every single day. We are deeply humbled that you have chosen us to partner with you in the sacred task of educating your children. Thank you for your continued support and for placing your faith in our staff. We simply couldn't do this without you.
As we move forward, I would like to remind everyone to stay connected. Your school's newsletter, ClassDojo updates, and school websites and social media pages are the best ways to keep up with everything happening in our community. We have so many wonderful events planned, and we want to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the fun.
Thank you again for your partnership. We are blessed to have you as part of the Siena family.
With gratitude,
Dr. Sue Savaglio-Jarvis
President, Siena Catholic Schools of Racine
