Principal’s Message

 

 

My first school year at Saint Vincent Ferrer School is coming to a close. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had this year to build a foundation for our continuous growth. I also feel blessed to have met and spend each day with a fabulous group of students and educators. I sincerely love working with the SVF staff and I am already looking forward to coming back to school in August.

 

Being a reflective man by nature I cannot help to wonder, what will I think about this summer?

 

First, I will continue to examine our adventure as an excellent faith-filled school.

I will continue to work with our staff to assure we personalize our work with students by building strong and trusting Christian relationships. It is the strength of these relationships that determine to success or failure of SVF.

 

Second, I will continue to think about why people get into this profession and how we can keep our ideals alive in our students. Where so many schools focus their efforts on test scores, we see the importance of building a foundation of academics and Christian values. As Catholic educators we understand that we not only educate the mind but also the heart.

 

Third, I will continue to promote the cultivation and assessment of learning skills that are not covered on any test. As Antoine De Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince, claims, “the essential things are not always seen.” Fostering creativity and imagination in all aspects of our students’ lives are some of the essential things. Children must be taught to be courageous, and passionate about their studies and their faith. Education and compliance are contrary. Taking standpoints and learning to defend those positions are fundamental to the depth of student knowledge.

 

These thoughts will keep me company this summer.

 

Before the final weeks’ hectic schedule gets the best of my time I wish to say thanks for the relationships foster and the opportunity to work with such loving families and staff this first year. I look forward to many years of working and growing together.

 

Peace,

 

 

Douglas L. Alpiger
