Kudos & Thanks…

Dear Parents—

As another year of PSR ends, let’s thank some people

who have made a world of difference, including:

—Our Catechists: It’s not coincidental that our PSR

students have made phenomenal improvements in ACRE (a nationwide religion ed assessment). Our teachers get much of the credit. (A big thanks to parents who have expressed their appreciation!)

—Parents who have gone out of their way to help: Maureen Crickard, Karen Bilgri, and Kathy Castorena took the lead in our Soles4Souls, Kente Cloth Auction, and QUANADA Christmas projects, and others have helped in so many ways — from assisting with parties to serving as class aides to attending special Masses.

—PSR Nurse/Office Manager Diane Frankenhoff: She meets & greets our children, monitors their safety in the parking lot, helps them if they get hurt, and talks with them if they are upset.

—Vicki Lopez-Kaley: Vicki has been a resource person for catechists, facilitated Confirmation Mini-Retreats, helped with Sacramental Prep and more! Best wishes as she moves to Wisconsin.

—Father John: He’s more than a wonderful pastor. He’s a brilliant mentor and a wise and compassionate leader. We are blessed!

—Sara Gomez: This 8th grader got Ghana Trek going! It’s inspiring what a little love can accomplish—no matter what your age!

Thanks and wishes to you all for a wonderful summer.
