School’s Out for Summer! A Message as We End the Year

by Phil Emma

As the school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to celebrate the achievements, growth, and memories that have shaped this past year. From the first day of school to field trips, concerts, class projects, and everyday learning, it has been a wonderful journey watching our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are so proud of the hard work, perseverance, and kindness our students have shown throughout the year. To our parents and guardians—thank you for your ongoing support, encouragement, and partnership. Together, we’ve built a strong foundation for our students to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Time to Recharge and Refresh

Now, it’s time to step away from the daily routine, take a deep breath, and enjoy the warmth and wonder of summer. Summer is a time for rest, play, discovery, and reconnecting with family and friends. Whether your plans include travel, summer camp, beach days, or simply slowing down at home, we encourage everyone to find time to recharge both body and mind.

Keep Growing Over the Summer

While summer is for fun, it’s also a great opportunity to keep minds active. Here are a few easy ways to keep learning alive in enjoyable and low-pressure ways:

  • Read for pleasure – Visit the local library and let your child choose books that interest them.

  • Explore nature – Go on a hike, plant a garden, or simply observe wildlife in your neighborhood.

  • Get creative – Try art projects, build with Legos, or write and illustrate a short story.

  • Learn through play – Board games, puzzles, and cooking all build real-world skills.

While summer is for fun, it’s also a great opportunity to keep minds active.

Stay Active, Stay Safe

Don’t forget to stay active this summer—bike rides, swimming, and playing outside are all great ways to stay healthy. Be sure to wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, and take breaks from screens to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Encourage your child to “unplug” and explore the world around them.

Looking Ahead

Though we’re stepping into summer, we’re already looking forward to another great school year ahead. Stay tuned for updates on back-to-school information, supply lists, and important dates later this summer. In the meantime, we hope everyone finds time to relax, reflect, and enjoy well-deserved fun.

Have a Wonderful Summer!

From all of us at Holy savior Academy, thank you for a fantastic school year. We wish all our students and families a safe, joyful, and memorable summer. We can’t wait to welcome you back in the fall, refreshed and ready for new adventures!
