“So by their fruits you will know them.”  Matthew 7:20

Dear Families:

Here we are on the day before the last day of school for school year 2012-13.  And a Bruins Dress Down Day as well!!

Tomorrow is our beautiful end of the year liturgy at 9:00 and we encourage you all to attend if your schedule permits.  Immediately following the Mass there will be the distribution of scholarships and awards followed by an 11:30 dismissal from school.  The mass schedule remains the same during the summer-4pm on Saturday, 8am and 10am on Sundays.  We look forward to seeing you there throughout the summer.

Looking ahead, teachers return to school on August 27th.  Students in grades K2-6 begin on Tuesday, September 3rd and our K1 and Pre K students on Thursday the 5th.  All days that first week for all grades will be early dismissal days at 11:30.  

A reminder that the bottle and can drive is the first Saturday of July and August so please stop by if you can because we need your help!  Please refer to Monday’s letter for any questions about tuition payments.  And finally, report cards with class assignments will be handed out tomorrow.

As we begin our summer vacations I want to thank Father John Connolly, Mrs. Freeman and the incredibly talented, dedicated and professional faculty and staff for ALWAYS upholding the high standards and mission of Saint Brendan School.  The vocation of Catholic Education is a privilege and responsibility given to us by God and all of us at Saint Brendan School will continue to educate your children with rigorous academics in an environment rich in Catholic identity and tradition.  As I am fond of saying, the Catholic Education provided at SaintBrendan School continues to be the hope for the future-we are a school that is thriving and growing, a school you can believe in, a school where faith and knowledge meet.  We have unprecedented growth and success at Saint Brendan School these past few years and I look forward to continuing our journey together.

If we can be of any assistance to you over the summer, please do not hesitate to contact us.  I hope that you and your family have a fun, happy, holy and healthy summer.  

Peace,

Maura M. Burke
