Dear Parents/Guardians,

I wanted to write a short note of thanks to everyone who attended our Strategic Planning meeting.  Even with the heavy rains, it didn’t keep the crowd away.  I was proud to see the turnout of parents, alumni, parishioners, Board members and faculty in the audience, it was a perfect mix.  Brother Ralph was also impressed.

As some of you know or have just learned, Strategic Planning is a necessary step for our academy’s future growth. It’s a stepping stone for accreditation and turning dreams into reality for our students and all of HFCA’s future students.  Coming together like we did on May 30^th, is a testament to our school and the people in it.  To see everyone who came to listen, share ideas and be active participants in this endeavor was for me a wonderful thing to experience.

 If you were unable to make this meeting, there may still be opportunities to join the different committees.  If you are interested please feel free to call the school at 718-969-2124.   

Thank you again for your time and involvement, as it will make a difference and ensure that Holy Family Catholic Academy will continue to thrive for years to come.

God Bless,

Miss. Mary C. Scheer

Our 3rd & 4th Grade have been learning all about Mexico in the classroom and the next natural step was to learn & taste their delicious food at lunch at Tequilla Sunrise! Who doesn’t love Mexican Food. Along with the delicious food there was music, we were given sombrero’s, a Mariachi band performed! Thank you Ms. Corrigan & Ms. Gasparri for this great day!!
