Welcome Back Message from the Board Chair
Dear Families, Staff, and Students of Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools,
Yesterday, as we gathered with all of our staff for our opening Mass, I was reminded of what makes our school division so special. The joy of beginning a new year together, grounded in faith, set the tone for what I know will be another remarkable year for our Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools family.
For our students, this season brings the excitement of new beginnings — fresh classrooms, new friendships, and new opportunities to grow in knowledge and faith. For our families, it is a time of renewed routines, anticipation, and hope for all that your children will experience and achieve. For our staff, it is a privilege to guide, support, and inspire the young people entrusted to us each day.
Time, as we reflected upon in our gathering, is truly one of God’s greatest gifts. The moments you spend learning, encouraging, or simply being present with one another become the foundation of our community. These small acts of love and dedication ripple outward, shaping lives in ways that often cannot be measured.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our staff for their tireless commitment, to our families for your trust and partnership, and to our students for the joy and inspiration you bring us every day. Together, we begin this school year with faith, hope, and excitement for the journey ahead.
May God bless you and your loved ones as we step into this new year with purpose and gratitude.
With blessings,
Lydia Yeomans, Board Chair
