Summer Update #3 - 08/07/26
August 7, 2026
Dear Bruin Family,
I remember the feeling I felt as a little kid when we were days away from school. I remember the excitement of placing the new box of 24 Crayola Crayons in the cart, picking out my new pencil case, and, oh what joy it was when I finally got to the grade that allowed 3-ring binders!!! One joyous year, the school even approved Trapper Keepers and it was like Christmas in August! But my favorite pre-school family tradition of all was the yearly visit to the Summer Tent sale at Chicks Sporting Goods to purchase a new pair of shoes for the school year (black and white only for our Catholic School, of course).
Now, as a parent myself and an administrator at a school, the preparations for the school year are quite different. While the responsibilities associated with these roles of mine do come with a certain stress and anxiety, they are no less exciting. There is something wonderful about these last weeks and days of summer and the anticipation of the year ahead. I hope that you and your child(ren) are eager and excited to get back to school. Our teachers are already hard at work preparing their classrooms and getting ready for the year ahead.
Next week we welcome everyone on Thursday, August 13th for the Supply Drop Off (9am-12pm), the Used Uniform Sale (4:30-6:00pm), our New Parent Orientation (5:30-6:00pm), and our Back to School Night (6:15pm). This evening is always a highlight, as it provides an opportunity to connect with teachers, learn about classroom expectations, and come together as a school family. It is a wonderful way to begin the year in partnership and unity.
We are very excited to see you all there and talk about the year ahead! In the meantime, may you enjoy these moments of anticipation with your little ones and may your stress levels be low as you help them prepare.
Sincerely,
Mr. Ryan Nearhoff
