To share our humanity and transform our lives
You came among us, Lord Jesus.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
During the Advent season as we prepare for
the celebration of Christmas, it is easy to get
so caught up in the preparations and
festivities that we forget to take time to
reflect and give thanks. We would like to
take this opportunity to give thanks:
to the students of Pope John Paul II School;
for their warmth and enthusiasm;
to the staff of Pope John Paul II School for
their hard work, dedication and sharing their
talents;
to the parents and guardians for their
support and generosity;
to our Trustee, Frank DiCosola, and our
Superintendent, Paul McMorrow, for their
continual guidance and support;
to the Catholic School Council who have
worked so hard at providing valuable and
positive enhancements that assist in the
education of the student;
to our Parent Volunteers who support
student learning and school activities;
to Father Leger and Father Damian and
the entire Holy Family pastoral team for their
support.
Sincerely,
G. Consitt
