Dear St. Paul Parish School Community
I write after the resignation of
Chris Sharp as Principal to help reassure
our community the best I can. Like you, I
was surprised and saddened by Mr. Sharp’s
resignation. It is always difficult to face
changes like this in the middle of the year. It
is not only difficult because of the loss of
someone we care about but also because it
creates a sense of uncertainty and anxiety.
We will be doing all we can to help maintain
the continuity of quality education and
prayerful service you have come to know and
respect. I have asked the staff to help me in
extending ourselves even more than we have
in the past to be the faithful, optimistic
servants Christ calls us to be. We have to
find the hope of the resurrection in the
difficult moments we face. As a matter of
fact, it is precisely in these moments that we
can have an even more profound experience
of the grace of consolation than in our
regular day-to-day lives.
As we enter into Catholic Schools
Week, I want each of you to take a moment
to thank God for our Catholic School here at
St. Paul. Pray for its on-going success and a
future full of hope. It is my hope and desire
that we are stronger than ever as we prepare
for the coming academic year. To that end I
want to reassure people that we are doing
everything in our power to uplift and
support our school long into the future. As
partners in ministry doing what we can to
support you as primary educators of your
children, we will work hard every day to help
you in your awesome task of raising these
children of God.
I will strive to be in on-going
communication with you, and invite you to
do your part to keep those lines of
communication open. To that end, Kristin
Dixon (Superintendent) and I plan to have
our annual State of the School night on
February 5, at 7:00pm. I want to thank all of
our wonderful faculty and staff for all that
they do. In particular, I want to thank Ana
Foukimoana for saying “yes” to this interim
Catholic Schools Week!
We kick off Catholic Schools week on
Sunday, 1/26. Students are asked to come
to the 8:30am Mass in their school uniform.
(Choir students, please arrive at 8:00am.)
After Mass is a parish breakfast for
everyone and, at 11:30am we have an
Open House and the Scholastic Book Fair
opens. Anyone who can help with setup,
please be in Romans Hall at 8:30 and if you
can help with serving, please be there at
9:00am.

position as Principal. They are all
