FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Bishop Ludden Community,
January can be a challenging month! Cabin fever, tensions
surface, and you just can’t seem to escape the doldrums. We seek
relief: movies, basketball games, friends, reading something to
help us over the hump of cold, frustration, and irritability.
I listened to a sermon given by Deacon Michael Colabufo last
week. He is our former superintendent. His words touched me
as he spoke of change, and how uncomfortable change is. Every
day we seek new and better ways to improve.
February is here!
We have lofty goals to reach: maintaining and strengthening our
connections to higher institutions, more grant applications for
academic and facility improvements, enhancing our course
offerings, etc.
I thank our Science Department, who has really done so much to
make STEM activities a reality. A new endeavor is Master Minds,
headed by Mrs. Babcock and offered to us by ESM. Innovation
Challenge is looking for our students to be creative and
innovative in their scientific projects.
Ms. Dordal has again begun a group for Mock Trial. Her law
background offers new perspectives for students interested in law
and the Justice System.
Our Advancement Committee is meeting and creating effective
communications to help others know what you already know:
Bishop Ludden is a great place to be. We have and will continue
to make changes as we challenge ourselves and our students to
grow and become better individuals and a stronger school
community.
Please continue to pray for me and Bishop Ludden. Prayer does
move mountains, and we are on the move!
I share with you a quote from a poster I saw: “Never doubt that a
small group of committed, thoughtful people can change the
world: Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has!” – Margaret Mead
God bless you,
Mrs. Reichert
