“You aspire to great things? Begin with little ones.” — St. Augustine

Dear friends and families of Siena, 

Our new school year is officially underway, and the energy across our Siena schools is truly inspiring! As I have visited several of our schools over these first few weeks, I have been filled with gratitude for the many blessings God has placed before us. It has been a joy to see our students engaged in learning, growing in their faith, and living out the values that make our Siena community so special.

At the heart of who we are is our commitment to faith, academics, and culture: with God at the center of all we do. Our Catholic schools are places where students are invited not only to learn, but to discover who God is calling them to be and to recognize Christ in one another each day.

This year, we are especially inspired by the words of St. Teresa of Calcutta: “Do small things with great love.” This simple message beautifully captures the way we hope to live our mission throughout the year. In our classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, athletic fields, and churches, it is often the smallest acts that make the greatest difference—a kind word, a helping hand, a moment of patience, a prayer for someone in need, or simply noticing someone who needs to feel seen and loved.

When we do these ordinary things with extraordinary love, we make Christ present to one another. We become the hands and feet of Jesus, and our schools become places where faith is not simply taught, but lived.

As we continue this school year together, I invite our students, families, and staff to look for those small opportunities each day to bring God's love to others. May our words be kind, our actions generous, and our hearts open to where the Holy Spirit is calling us.

Thank you for your continued partnership in Catholic education and for the love, faith, and commitment you bring to our Siena community. Together, we have the privilege of forming young people who know they are deeply loved by God and who are prepared to go out into the world and set it on fire with faith, hope, and love.

May God bless our students, educators, and families throughout this school year. May Mary, our Mother, continue to guide our Siena family, and may we always remember that even the smallest act, when done with great love, can become something extraordinary in God's hands.

With gratitude and blessings,

Dr. Sue Savaglio-Jarvis
President
Siena Catholic Schools of Racine
