We have each other and that makes all the difference.

Messages from the heart like the one here from Ms. Doyle interacting, making connections, shaping our school culture, makes us proud to be part of the St. Mary's School family.

St. Mary’s Students and Families,

If I am being totally honest, this has been the hardest week of the Stay Home order for me. For some reason, all the missed opportunities and events of my first year as a school leader have seeped into my consciousness and made me sad and even angry at the circumstances we are all in.
  • I was thinking of our second graders during this last week of preparation for what should have been First Communion Weekend.
  • I was thinking of what fun it would have been to celebrate Superhero Day in person with little Batmen and Wonder Women filling the halls.
  • Grand Friends Day was as special as we could make it, but I certainly missed seeing the proud smiling faces of the GRAND people in your lives in person.
  • And I am constantly thinking of our 8th graders who have lost so many special moments that fill the last days at a school like St.Mary’s.
So, imagine the comfort I felt when I reviewed the student survey data from this week to find students felt the same way. We really are in this together, for the ups and the downs, and I felt grateful to know that other members of the St. Mary’s family are feeling the wide waves of emotion that I am experiencing. God is good...He gave us a community to suffer and to celebrate with, a family beyond our home that shares in our challenges and our victories. Yep, it’s been a hard week, but we have each other and that makes all the difference.

In Gratitude,
Kathleen Doyle
