President’s Newsletter – October 2017

Aloha e Saint Louis School

Parents and Guardians,

The Characteristics of a Marianist Education can be seen in the many activities taking place on and off campus at Saint Louis School. The pictures below shine a light on just a few of those examples.

I am leaving this weekend to visit presidents and principals of the sixteen American Marianist schools at our Marianist headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. This very important meeting takes place annually and helps to keep all of our Marianist schools focused on our unique mission. In addition, this meeting encourages school leaders to share ideas and resources with each other with the objective of helping to strengthen all Marianist schools. When I’m there, I plan on sharing how wonderful it is to work at such an amazing school with so many people who truly care about educating our students in the Marianist tradition.

Congratulations to all of our athletic and academic teams for the success experienced in the last few weeks in the form of championships, and more. Let us also pray for the many individuals dealing with the recent tragedies on the U.S. mainland. We pray they find the strength they need to get through these tough times.

Memor et Fidelis,

Dr. Medeiros
