OUR LADY OF GRACE SCHOOL - Our Lady of Grace Catholic School

Dear Parents,
I hope that you are enjoying a wonderful summer. God is good. He provides this time of year to remind
us to slow our pace and enjoy the beauty of His creation. Whether you are traveling or spending your
vacation in this beautiful city, appreciate the landscapes and seascapes, the cool ocean breezes, and time
with your family and friends.
I want to congratulate you on your decision to prioritize your child’s Catholic education this coming year.
While these times are economically challenging, this gift of educational and faith formation is
praiseworthy. I also applaud all that you do to honor your obligations within your contractual
agreement, completing your service and parish requirements for the school and its programs. We also
know that a strong sense of community and Catholicity, identified by all constituencies and our
WCEA/WASC Visiting Committee, are hallmarks of our school. Our families take active roles in their
children’s school experience, and we all benefit from this involvement. Again, we, here at school, are
most grateful.
I am very excited as we embark on our new school year. We are welcoming some wonderful new
families into the school community. I thank many of you for serving as mentor families. If you find time
and the opportunity to include new families into social gatherings this summer, that would be optimal. It
is comforting to have at least one new friend when you enter a school for the first time.
I will see you in a few weeks. Until then, enjoy our marvelous city and all God’s creation. Besides
reading and playing with your children, remember to pray and worship with them. Keep them safe until
you return to us in late August.
Blessings to all,
Mrs. Susan Hause
Principal
