Mission in Action: Principal Kickstart and INSPIRE Conference
As Saint Patrick Catholic School prepares to welcome students and families into a new school year, our school leaders are also taking time to learn, reflect, and grow in their shared mission of Catholic education.
On August 4, Principal Kate Chambers attended the Archdiocese of Seattle Office for Catholic Schools Principal Kickstart, a gathering designed to help Catholic school leaders prepare for the year ahead with purpose, clarity, and a renewed commitment to their school communities.
In addition, many members of our office staff and Early Learning Center faculty joined her at the Archdiocese of Seattle INSPIRE Conference. This professional development opportunity brings Catholic school educators and staff together to focus on faith, formation, leadership, and service.
Their participation is another way our mission is put into action. By investing time in growth and collaboration, our faculty and staff are preparing to better serve students, support families, and strengthen the faith-filled community that makes Saint Patrick special.
As we begin a new year, we are grateful for school leaders, office staff, and faculty who continue to model lifelong learning and servant leadership. Their dedication helps ensure that every student at Saint Patrick is known, loved, challenged, and called to serve. ... See MoreSee Less
