Starting my birthday right

June 8, yes it’s my birthday, but there is something more special than that happening today – my very 1^st parents orientation at St. Ambrose School.

I was excited! I was excited to meet other parents! Unlike the usual “tell something about your self”, we were given a few minutes to know the parent seating next to us. I know a couple of parent from summer class but unfortunately we were not seated beside each other. So here goes getting to know a “new” parent. I was partnered with a DADDY. We started with facts about our kids, then facts about each other. TIMES UP ! Each parent was then called in front to introduce the other. It was fun ! Different ! Before the morning is through, we each had an idea of who each of us were. It immediately created a friendship amongst us, a bond of the “new parents” .

Christ is the Reason for this school. He is the unseen, but ever present Teacher in the classess, the Model of this faculty, the inspiration of it’s students.

Next is the distribution of the Student Handbook. It contains everything you want to know about St. Ambrose, The School Crest, It’s Philosophy, It’s Vision. It will aid you with the Admission Policies. And when your child is already attending, It explains the Evaluation Process of the Student’s Achievement. The Guidelines for Proper Behavior is also spelled out well – for both students & parents. And lastly is the Student Services which enumerate the facilities of the school. Each & every part of the Student Handbook was discussed with us “new” parents thoroughly. The presentation was well prepared, and the venue was very comfortable. It gives you the feeling that you are seated amongst friends.

So what better way to start a birthday morning but to be seated with friends !
