Director's Corner - Fall Break

As in your life, nothing in my life these days seems to run in slow motion. As a matter of fact, all seems to be stuck in fast forward. I am amazed that as of today, we have completed one quarter of the school year. It only seems like yesterday that we were hosting Registration, holding Meet Your Teacher Nights at both OCES K-3 and 4-6 Campuses, welcoming new 7th graders to Owensboro Catholic Middle School and freshmen to Owensboro Catholic High School. To say that time seems to have flown by would be an understatement for sure. From all that I hear from our Principals and many of you, we have experienced an amazing start to the 2011-2012 school year. I hear wonderful accounts that show that as a faith community we truly are partnering - family, parish and school - to build the body of Christ. How exciting! Kudos and thanks to all who work so diligently to live our Mission and make it real and alive for our students. As I remember hearing our youth say at Youth 2000 - "God is Good - All the Time & All the Time - God is Good!"

With Fall Break upon us, know that my prayers are with you and your families. May the time off provide much needed rest and family filled fun and relaxation. May this special opportunity to step back provide our students and their families the chance to refresh and make ready for the 2nd quarter. I appreciate all you do to help us fulfill our mission of excellence in faith formation and academics. As always, your comments and insights are important to me. I can be reached via phone at 852.8028 and email at ken.rasp@owensborocatholic.org . May God shower upon all His blessings and share with you His peace!
