Dear St. Celestine School Parents and Guardians,

I have some important staffing news to share. Kaitlin McNulty blessed St. Celestine School with years of service and dedication, teaching our Kindergarten students with love and care. We wish her blessings as she takes the next steps in her career in the public schools. Mere words cannot express our gratitude.

Mrs. Alyssa Jelinek, who taught our part-time PreK students during the 2022-2023 school year, has accepted the Kindergarten teaching position. Her devotion to the youngest St. Celestine School learners and commitment to our school community is clear. We welcome her to the Kindergarten team.

Should you need anything, the school office is open from 8:00 am until 1:00 pm on Mondays through Thursdays. We are busily getting ready for the 2024-2025 school year, with Organization Day being on August 6 from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm.

Please remember that the St. Mother Theodore Guerin Parish Picnic is on Saturday, July 28 starting at 10 am at Evans Field in River Grove.

Please mention us to any families looking for a new school. There is space in many grades and we look forward to continuing to build our wonderful St. Celestine School family.

As always, our St. Celestine School adventures continue...

Some of us had a great time at Farm Camp.

Some of us successfully pursued model acting competitions in New York City.

Some of us explored Bald Head Island, NC.

Please keep me in your prayers the next few weeks. I have been selected to participate in the Hernandez Fellows at the University of Notre Dame. My adventures will involve learning new ways to make St. Celestine School stronger and better. Learning is a lifelong endeavor and I look forward to what this opportunity brings.

With Gratitude and Blessings,

Sheila M. Klich - Principal
