things to eat.
Just as the work of the farmer produced fruit,
So our work in this school will bring us nourishment of God’s
word.
God, our Creator, You provide food for our bodies, ideas for
our minds, and Your love for our hearts.
Bless the fruit that we share as a symbol of the time and
friendship we will share during this coming school year,
Be with us now and forever.
Amen.
Dear
Parents/Guardians:
On behalf of the entire staff at Pope
John Paul II School, we would like to
welcome you and your family back
from summer vacation. We hope that
your summer holiday was a safe and
enjoyable one. All of us here on staff
are looking forward to the new school
year. At Pope John Paul II School we
aim to develop a school community
where students, staff, parents and our
parish team work together to create a
safe, caring, and positive learning
environment that reflects our Catholic
values and traditions. We wish to
extend a warm welcome to all of our
new families and students who have
moved into our community over the
summer months. We look forward to
meeting all of you over the next few
weeks as we start our new school year
together. Key partners of our school
team include our trustee, Mr. F.
DiCosola,
Superintendent,
Mr.
McMorrow and Pastor, Fr. Leger. We
are grateful to have them for their
guidance and direction.
