Dear Holy Family Catholic School Families and Friends,
As we transition into the final weeks of the school year, our hearts are full of gratitude for those who have generously stewarded our community. The season of spring invites us to reflect on the blessings of faithful service and look forward with hopeful anticipation to what God’s grace will provide.
Honoring Dedicated Leadership
We extend our profound thanks to the outgoing elected Parents in Education (PIE) Board members whose tireless dedication has strengthened our school community this year. Their commitment to orchestrating the numerous events that make our school’s calendar so vibrant has touched the lives of our students, faculty, and entire HFCS family. We are deeply grateful for the time, talent, and treasures you have invested in our community.
With great joy, we welcome our new board for the 2026-2027 school year. We look forward to partnering with this wonderful team as we continue to build upon the strong foundation laid by our predecessors. Please keep them in your prayers as they take on these important roles.
A Week to Remember
Special recognition is due to the PIE team for the beautiful celebration they orchestrated during Teacher Appreciation Week last week. The thoughtfulness and generosity extended to our faculty and staff reflected the very best of our Catholic community—a community that recognizes and honors the vocation of teaching. Thank you to all who contributed to making our educators feel truly valued.
The Spirit of Giving
As May unfolds, we celebrate the remarkable success of our recent auction—a true testament to the generosity and commitment of our school families. The combined silent and live auction brought in $147,948.61, with an impressive $31,820.00 raised through the paddle raise specifically dedicated to kitchen improvements. While final expenses are still being calculated, early projections suggest our net proceeds may reach approximately $100,000.00.
These numbers tell a story of community members working together, driven by their desire to provide our students with an exceptional Catholic education. Every dollar raised reflects not just financial support, but a deep investment in the spiritual and academic growth of our children. To our committee chairs, volunteers, and everyone who attended and participated: your generous hearts make HFCS the remarkable institution it is.
As we continue through this joyful season, we remain grateful for the unwavering support of our school families. Together, with God’s grace guiding us, we are building a vibrant, nurturing Catholic educational community in Northern Idaho.
Pax et bonum,
Sue Styren, M.Ed.
