Mrs. Hartnett writes,

Welcome, and welcome back, to everyone in the Junior School! As I write these few words to you, it is the second day of school. The halls are buzzing with activity and conversation, very dissimilar to the summer months when no one is about. The 74 Form II students, old pros that they are, have readily moved down to their end of the hall to claim their space as the elder statesmen of this little world here. We welcome two new Form II students, Vishwaroop Shaddarsanam and Rohith Perla, to the Class of 2015. As well, we open wide the doors for the 86 youngest members of the family, the Class of 2016. These fresh-faced and smiling young men are already navigating the waters and confidently finding their way.

Fleet Feet Kick Off for CC at Quail Ridge Park (8/31/10)

anununziante@priory.org (Andrea) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:00:03 GMT

Priory opened its 2010 CC season with a new race at Quail Creek Park in Wentzville. This very flat 2 mile course gained popularity in only its second year with 15 teams of all sizes entered. Priory was paired with large schools like Francis Howell and Marquette on a hot (92) and very steamy afternoon. The early race gave many of our new athletes a chance to see the results of their hard preseason practices, while it provided the varsity the opportunity both to sort out the top runners and to see about their speed.

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the official beginning of the school year! I hope that you and your sons had an enjoyable and restful summer, and they have come back to school, as they say, tanned and rested.

I’m not tanned, but I am rested and ready to be challenged by the energy and precocious minds of our students. For me, beginning school is exhilarating. I do realize, however, that most students are not as enthusiastic as I am about this. There will surprises, successes and disappointments this year. I pray the surprises will all be positive, the successes still give us something to strive for, and the disappointments be mild and motivating.

I thank you for entrusting to us your sons, for being part of the Priory Family and allowing Priory to be part of your family. I thank you personally for giving something so worthwhile to do with my life.

That God may be all in all,

Sincerely,

Rev. Michael G. Brunner O.S.B.
Headmaster

Dear Priory Mothers,

The final countdown is here, only one more week until the official start of the 2010-2011 Saint Louis Priory School Year! First of all, if you have not turned in your student health forms, they are due today.

The long awaited Back to School Roundup will be this Thursday, August 26 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. It is a great opportunity to reconnect with your Priory Family and to welcome our newest Priory Family members, the Priory Class of 2016.

Please note the change in the location of the Form I Coffee on September 3. It will be held at 8:00 a.m. in the High School Commons (the open area in the back of the Kevin Kline Theatre) in order to better accommodate all of the Form I Moms.

Parting…

We have come to the end now. And so I will begin as I would normally end, with a line or two that I have found to be important or inspiring, simple words that say something to me in a profound way:

Mrs. Hartnett writes,

Geese…

One of the many wonderful things about being a teacher is that I am always learning something. Sometimes what I learn is an important life lesson, sometimes it is a new fact, an interesting bit of information, or a new way to look at something or someone. Sometimes what I learn is brand new to me, and sometimes, it is a “refresher” on something that I learned long ago. This year, I did learn some new things, some new things about…..geese. Geese and people.
