MISSION STATEMENT

Fostering a faith-filled and academically strong environment Saint Ambrose Catholic School works with

families and the faith community to encourage the formation of the whole child through the examples and

teachings of Jesus Christ

Dear St Ambrose Community

It is hard to believe that fall will be arriving soon and that

we have been in school for a month already

One of our major goals this year was to upgrade our smart

boards Based on past yearsrsquo reserve funds from the PTO

we were able to accomplish some part of our goal for this

year I would like to announce that our PTO approved the

purchase of seven Promethean Active Panels to replace

our old Smart boards from second to eighth grade This

purchase will improve our direct instruction in the class-

room and will benefit our students tremendously We will

continue to fundraise to be able to upgrade our smart

boards for pre-k to first grade advanced math and the

stage (music) The faculty staff and I would like to thank

our parents for their generosity and continued support

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me

at any time

Yours in Christ

MISSION STATEMENT

Fostering a faith-filled and academically strong environment Saint Ambrose Catholic School works with

families and the faith community to encourage the formation of the whole child through the examples and

teachings of Jesus Christ

Dear St Ambrose Community

It is hard to believe that fall will be arriving soon and that

we have been in school for a month already

One of our major goals this year was to upgrade our smart

boards Based on past yearsrsquo reserve funds from the PTO

we were able to accomplish some part of our goal for this

year I would like to announce that our PTO approved the

purchase of seven Promethean Active Panels to replace

our old Smart boards from second to eighth grade This

purchase will improve our direct instruction in the class-

room and will benefit our students tremendously We will

continue to fundraise to be able to upgrade our smart

boards for pre-k to first grade advanced math and the

stage (music) The faculty staff and I would like to thank

our parents for their generosity and continued support

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me

at any time

Yours in Christ
