A message from the principal...
Dear Families:
As the school year comes to a close, our minds and hearts are filled to the brim. It’s been a great year! Together we’ve learned much and shared experiences that will long remain with us in the years to come. The strength of our community and wholehearted passion to make our school a wonderful place of learning for our children is evident by the dedication of our devoted families and the many supporters of Koraes. Koraes is truly a special place.
Special thanks to our parents who have contributed in ways small, large, and unimaginable! Thanks for getting your kids to school each day and helping your kids in the learning process; the partnership between home and school is important.
I want to thank you all for all the support and patience shown to me these past 10 months and for welcoming me into the Koraes family. As I reflect on the 2016-17 school year, I am not sure who learned more, the children or me! I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our learning community and all unique qualities that Koraes offers to families. It’s like no other. I would like to thank our hard working and caring staff members who have made a huge difference to our students . Their commitment is outstanding and our kids are the beneficiaries. Thank you for providing rich and engaging, well-rounded experiences for our kids and knowing that education is about joy, wonder and fostering curiosity, along with the development of social skills so needed to succeed. For these, and a thousand other things, we are truly grateful.
As we wrapped up the school year, there surely was a sense of excitement in our classrooms. The obvious feeling was looking forward to summer break. The other was the excitement of moving on to the next grade level. The last day of school brought on mixed emotions for some children that bid farewell to teachers and friends. We were blessed to have Fr. Tom give the final morning prayer via Facetime as he was in attendance at the funeral for Metropolitan Iakovos. As we look back on the many events and moments that made this year special, we have seen a lot of growth in our students. We have seen God’s hand in many ways this year.
A hearty congratulations to the 101st Koraes Graduating Class of 2017. We were so very blessed to have a beautiful day for the ceremony and a really spectacular time at their reception celebration. Congratulations to the 2017 Valedictorian Maria Marx and Salutatorian Eleftharios Peiralis. The recipient of the Archdiocesan Greek Award was given to Basileios Oikonomou. The Philoptochos Service Award was given to two students who demonstrated their service through leadership on our Student Council, Maria Marx, President and Eleftharios Peiralis, Vice President.
In closing, I take this opportunity to congratulate all students of Koraes! Summer is a very special time for children and families and is the source of many happy memories. I wish you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable summer. Please be sure to take time as family to talk, play and pray together. I look forward to seeing your children return in August. To those of you who are leaving us for new places we wish you all the best and you will continue to be in our prayers.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Lind
