Why I Love Teaching at Nativity
I love teaching at Nativity because of the faculty, staff and families. Their kindness and friendships remind me of my Catholic elementary school days. I feel at home here and I am blessed to be part of this terrific school.
This Week's Highlights:
The virtue for September was Friendliness. Congratulations to Amelia Van Deusen and Matthew Trzepacz for winning the September virtue award. I am very proud of both children.
The virtue for October is Understanding. Students will receive this award during mass on Thursday, November 12th. If your child will be receiving an award, I will send you an email so you may virtually watch the mass.
