Principal’s Notes

Posted on June 13, 2013

Dear Families,

MCantuI hope that your children had a good year of learning and development. I am very proud of our students and how well they have done in their studies, in their service projects and in how they have developed in their faith. Have a wonderful, restful and safe summer vacation. I would say that both teachers/staff and parents deserve a much deserved rest for all the positive work we have witnessed this year. Thank you to our teachers, staff and parents for making all this possible! Have a great year next year, the 100th of Holy Rosary School. Enjoy the celebration throughout and may God bless each of you.

Sincerely,

Michael Cantu, Principal

Summer Reading Program

Updated on June 13, 2013

Look for the ideas, logins and passwords in next week’s eFC or find the information on the HRS Library website.

Read by flashlight.
Read in the shade.
Read whatever you want.

Summer reading feels different. It fosters an enthusiasm for reading. Select books that reflect a special talent, expertise, interest, desire to know, or a need for fun. Keep that energy flowing by participating in both of these reading activities.

  • All students, parents and staff are urged to participate in Holy Rosary’s Summer Reading Challenge. Read 15 minutes each day during the summer break and you will be invited to a special celebration in September. A calendar and explanation will be included with each student’s report card.
  • Leslie Sumida, the children’s librarian at the West Seattle Library introduced the reading summer program urging our students to visit any Seattle Public Library to register.

Do you need some reading ideas? Do you know about all the online resources available through HRS? Look for the ideas, logins and passwords in next week’s eFC or find the information on the HRS Library website.

The more you read the more you know.
The more you know the smarter you grow.
The smarter you grow the stronger your voice
when speaking your mind or making a choice.

Find summer reading suggestions as well as links to all of Holy Rosary School’s electronic resources from the HRS Library Catalog’s opening page.

Registration For Fall 2013 CYO Soccer Is Now Open!

Posted on May 16, 2013

GatorSoccerNEW THIS YEAR: We’ve started earlier and shifted the open registration to May/June before everyone leaves for summer vacation. The open registration period for all grades continues NOW through June 30th for the 1st - 8th Grades and through September 1st for Kindergartners.

REMAINING THE SAME FROM LAST YEAR: The fee is $60. If you would like to reuse your 2012 black and blue striped Holy Rosary jersey, you will receive a $15 discount off the registration cost. Any late registrations after this open registration period will be accepted on a space availability basis.

The CYO organization at Holy Rosary offers the amazing opportunity for all K - 8th graders in the parish to:

  • Build school spirit by participating in organized sports with classmates and peers.
  • Represent our school and parish in friendly competition with other Seattle area parishes.
  • Develop new friendships while having fun and working towards a shared goal.
  • Become involved with CYO Sports and the Holy Rosary community (esp. for new Kindergarten families)

For those already playing organized soccer in the Fall, CYO can be:

  • A low pressure environment to refine skills or learn a new position in game-type settings.
  • An opportunity to play with friends that are otherwise on different teams/leagues.

Last year, we had over 155 players and 20 volunteer coaches participate. Let’s make 2013 an even bigger year for participation.

COACHES NEEDED - Please consider offering your skills, experience, and leadership in service to coaching one of our teams. Not only are community service hours are available, but volunteering provides great connection with the Holy Rosary families/larger community. If you are interested, please .

We have spots for everyone to participate in Gator CYO sports. If you have any questions, please , Soccer Coordinator for Holy Rosary.
