GREETINGS!

Dear St. Rita School Parents,

As we approach the Easter break, I want to wish you time to be filled with joy, renewal, and the blessings of the season. Whether you're spending it with loved ones or taking a well-deserved rest, I hope it brings you moments of peace and reflection.

I'm pleased to inform you that our Forward exams are well underway, and I'm delighted to report that our students are demonstrating commendable effort and resilience. I have every confidence that they will continue to excel as they navigate through these assessments.

I also want to thank the 4th-grade students for their rendition of the Stations of the Cross play. It was a beautiful and poignant presentation that truly captured the spirit of Jesus’ sacrifice for us. Their hard work and commitment to this production did not go unnoticed, and I am immensely proud of each and every one of them.

Furthermore, I am thrilled to announce that our school spelling bee winners have been determined! Congratulations to our talented students who emerged victorious in this challenging competition. Attached to this newsletter, you will find pictures of our brilliant spellers. These exceptional individuals will represent St. Rita School at the all-Siena spelling bee, scheduled to take place on April 17th. Let us wish them the best of luck as they compete against their peers from other schools.

As always, I am grateful for your support and partnership in nurturing our students' academic and personal growth. Together, we continue to foster a community where every child feels valued, inspired, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.

Wishing you all a blessed Easter break filled with love, laughter, and happy memories.
