Dear Guardian Angels Catholic School Community,
It is my honour and privilege to be appointed and serve as the Principal of Guardian Angels Catholic Elementary School. I look forward to working in partnership with you for the best interests of all the children in our school community. We will celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of each student, which in turn recognizes the philosophy of “Each Belongs”. This gives the opportunity of each child to reach their full potential in which Jesus is our role model. Guardian Angels has had a strong tradition of Catholic education and the community support of the school and parish is truly one of its greatest blessings.
Guardian Angels strives to create a safe, caring, Catholic faith community enabling all learners to achieve academic excellence through quality education. In collaboration with home, parish and community, we set the direction of a positive school culture committed to providing a Christ-like centered learning environment that fosters academic achievement and spiritual growth emphasizing acceptance, belonging and kindness within our school. We believe that together we can continue to develop a welcoming environment where the love of God is seen daily through our acts of service and generosity towards others. As we work together to continue to instill in each child a sense of confidence, self-esteem, and responsibility, we will enable all learners to achieve academic success while continuing to grow spiritually and socially in faith. Our team of dedicated educators are committed to working very hard to provide our students with a quality, faith-based school experience. We believe that our mission as a school community is to work together as role models, to serve, educate and help each other to become lifelong learners. Together we will work towards our mission to allow each child to realize their fullest potential through Jesus Christ.
School Mission Statement (Creed):
As a Guardian Angel, I Promise to lead like Jesus.
I am someone who will bring about peace by forgiving others.
I will take academic and spiritual risks and learn from my mistakes.
I believe in what is right and I will guide others to make the right choices.
I am someone that shows compassion by listening to understand.
I will develop winning habits through repetition, meditation and prayer.
I believe the warmth that kindness brings is reciprocal so I need to make the effort to be kind.
I promise to be an independent respectful learner by always using my God given gifts.
If I live this creed I will inspire others to be a true Guardian Angel and create an environment where each belongs.
School Vision Statement:
If I lead like Jesus, then I will always be reminded to forgive, understand, love and lead.
Our School Motto: Forgive, Understand, Love, and Lead
I look forward to meeting everyone in our school community and to working together for the benefit of all the children at Guardian Angels CES.
Yours In Catholic Education
Mrs. Nancy Russo
