Sometimes I feel as if a large part of my job is to thank those who surround me. And, this week I am particularly conscious of people I wish to thank! I am lingering with gratitude for so many and for so much!
This week, I am grateful for the hard-working employees with whom I am proud to rub elbows every day:
- Our dedicated, talented and loving teachers, especially during this Teacher Appreciation Week
- The Academy staff (office staff, business staff, advancement staff, maintenance men and cleaning ladies) who, behind the scenes, quietly and efficiently help with everything that happens at this place
As we continue to wrap up Chemin, my heart is overflowing with gratitude for our big event volunteers, sponsors, volunteers, benefactors and high bidders:
A special and huge gratitude go out to our Chemin Chairs (L-R in photo) Robert and Karen MacDonald and Michael and Michelle Todt, as well as our Chemin Committee Chairs who gave so generously of their time over the course of the year.- ALL who worked hard to create our Chemin experience!
As we enter into this last month of school, I begin to think about ALL the volunteers who help in so many ways:
- The PCC Reps, who volunteer for school events—with a special thanks to those PCC reps who are cycling off.
- The Hospitality Committee, without whose help we would not BE the Academy!
- The Mothers’ Club, who, behind the scenes, quietly and efficiently do SO MUCH for this school
I am particularly grateful for the selfless gifts that were given at Chemin for the Fund-A-Need, which this year was for our Sacred Heart School in the Congo that experienced a fire. The Academy community raised over $20,000 in 10 minutes! I could not have been more proud! Our Chemin guests were NOT donating money to something that would directly benefit them; they were donating money to be sent across the ocean to benefit children they will will never meet!
I celebrate you all, I thank you all, and I pray in gratitude for you all!
See you at Field Day,
Maureen Glavin, rscj
