Nuestras reuniones de regreso a la escuela, antes de iniciar el a�o escolar, nos ofrecen a todos nosotros en la escuela cat�lica de Sts. Peter and Paul, la dicha de dar la bienvenida a los padres, y por medio de ellos, a sus ni�os. Es a trav�s de los padres, y gracias a ellos, que conocemos las esperanzas y las aspiraciones de los estudiantes, sus logros y sus reveses. Hoy, al iniciar un nuevo a�o escolar, deseamos ofrecer a todos los miembros de nuestra comunidad, nuestros deseos fervientes de alegr�a, paz, prosperidad y salud, adem�s de todas las bendiciones divinas, por supuesto.

Me parece que todos hemos sido afectados por el sentimiento de temor que prevalece en nuestra sociedad y entre nosotros, como ciudadanos. Sin embargo, depende de nosotros que todo pueda cambiar. Todo el mundo puede desarrollar en s� mismo el potencial de la fe, la honestidad, el respeto a los dem�s y el compromiso de servir al pr�jimo, valores que se ense�an en nuestras escuelas cat�licas.

Como adultos responsables, debemos decir s� a la vida, respetar la vida misma y la vida de cada individuo. Todo comienza aqu�, porque el m�s fundamental de los derechos humanos es, ciertamente, el derecho a la vida. La lucha por la paz es siempre la lucha por la vida. Tenemos la obligaci�n de ser solidarios. En un mundo con informaci�n interminable, a veces se hace muy dif�cil la comunicaci�n. No debemos escatimar esfuerzos para asegurarnos de que todos se sientan responsables por el crecimiento y la dicha de los dem�s, especialmente de los j�venes.

En Sts. Peter and Paul tratamos de inculcar esos valores en nuestros estudiantes. Juntos, al iniciar este a�o escolar, debemos tener la valent�a de decir �No� cuando sea necesario. Las escuelas cat�licas pueden lograr cambios a trav�s del tiempo, una vez se permita que prevalezcan la buena voluntad, la confianza en los dem�s, la fidelidad a los compromisos y la cooperaci�n entre las partes responsables. Como creyentes, podemos lograrlo con nuestra fe en Dios, quien es el Creador y el Padre de todos.

Al iniciar este a�o, seamos s�mbolos de la espiritualidad, el di�logo y la paz, y ayudemos con nuestras acciones diarias al avance de la justicia y la paz. A todos los padres que conocen y entienden el valor de la educaci�n cat�lica sobre todo lo dem�s, que el Se�or les devuelva el ciento por uno. Que Dios derrame Sus abundantes bendiciones sobre ustedes, sus ni�os y sus familias, y que todos tengamos un maravilloso a�o escolar 2010-2011.

Thank you Dr. Morales for sharing a positive and joyful message at the beginning of this new school year. It is very important that we first, believe and accept the challenges of a deep spirituality in our life, of being excellent communicator, and of putting God at first place in our life. May our Lord greatly bless each and every one. Deo gratias! Thanks be to God!

Dr. Morales,
Our Catholic schools are a true testament to the "Word made Flesh". We are blessed to have parents who believe strongly enough in our Catholic values and traditions to educate their children in our system. I thank you for recognizing their sacrifices and efforts not just on behalf of Sts. Peter and Paul, but on behalf of all Catholic schools. May we all strive to keep the tradition alive!

One word, "Amen"! I think this attitude of spirituality and values should be fostered by all schools across the country. We cannot do this alone, we must all work together: parents, teachers, students, principals with Christ in the center! Having our Lord in the center of everything is of the utmost importance. To instill this in our children is needed and is our responsibility as Christians. I pray that we all remember we are one, one in Christ.
Thank you for such an insightful message.

Thank you for such a wonderful message to get the new school year off and running! As a parent of two children at Blessed Trinity School I feel very blessed and fortunate to have them at the school with such a wonderful principal and incredible teachers. I applaud all teachers and thank you for all that you do. Carlota the students and families at Sts. Peter and Paul are lucky to have you in their lives.

Dear Dr. Morales: Thank you for welcoming the parents of Sts. Peter and Paul as well as all the parents that are part of the Catholic school community. It is such an inspiration to be reminded of what it is that our children learn and live at our schools. It is my belief that one who knows this facts will have the priority to send their children to Catholic schools. Through Catholic education is that the children,the families and the whole community are enriched, ultimately to be able to be witnesses of God and spread the Gospel to all.
You have dedicated your life to this mission. Thank you again.

Carlota: Thank you for sharing your letter to parents. I would think that the parents would be eager to attend since the purpose is that you understand better the hopes and aspirations of their chidlren. Part of education is helping students to pay attention to the desires of their hearts, because, ultimately, these will lead them to recognize that only a love that lasts forever will meet their desires. It is also good to remind the parents in this first note that sometimes it is necessary that they and the school say "no" in order to be good educators. Richard
