Principal's Post January6,2023

Dear HFS Families,

Happy New Year! It never fails to amaze me how quickly the year passes, and yet here we are. While I’ve never been very good at following through on resolutions, I can say that I will make it a goal of mine to focus on and be thankful for the many blessings I have in my life.

Principal’s Spotlight

This week, I would like to shine a light on our PreSchool/PreK teachers - Mrs. Carolyn Cucinotta, Mrs. Beth Orr, Mrs. Lynette Smith, and Mrs. Janell Lamperti. Being an educator can be a very demanding job and a very rewarding job, but I think there is a special place in Heaven for these teachers. They juggle so many responsibilities on a daily basis, and it does not go unseen. Our youngest Panthers are so incredibly lucky to have them as their springboards into their academic careers.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service 

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is quickly approaching on Monday, January 16th 9:00AM-11:00AM. This is always an excellent opportunity to give back to your community and Holy Family School. Activities will be divided according to grade levels, and it’s always a fun way to get involved. If you’re interested, please click here to sign up.

Dine and Donate

This month is a special Dine and Donate opportunity as it will be every Tuesday through the month of January. If you’re just not in the mood to cook or you’re looking to get out of the house, enjoy the delicious offerings of Iron Hill Brewery on Bridge Street in Phoenixville. Show the attached flyer to your server, and HFS will receive 20% of your food bill. Such an easy way to support HFS!
