St. Philip the Apostle School

Principal Notes

1/24/2023

Dear Parents,

Thank you for such a great turn out at Open House on Sunday.  I loved seeing the courtyard full with children and families.  It was a wonderful day for all and I appreciate all of you who contributed in making it happen.

I want to especially thank the teachers and teaching associates who spent so much time preparing the classrooms.  The student work that was displayed was amazing and the classroom environments sparkled. I know how much time and effort went into this.  They really are the best.

Now we celebrate Catholic Schools!  Student Council gave all of the students a special little treat at lunch time today.  Tomorrow we will go to mass as a school at 8:10 am and wear our Jogathon shirts.  All shirts were sent home last week so all students should have one. 

Please pray for the victims and families of the Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay tragedies this weekend. Pray that we create a society where these tragedies do not happen. We have to do better. 

Thank you for your prayers,

Jennifer

A Message from our School Board President

September 2022

Welcome Back to a new school year Falcon families! I hope you all had a restful, fun and healthy summer! My name is Annie Van Dyke, I am pleased to be your new School Board President. I have two daughters, Catherine (Class of 2008) and Mary (Class of 2010). Curiously, they are both back in school this fall. Catherine is at Cal earning a Masters in Energy and Resources. Mary is at Wisconsin earning a Masters in Education and a secondary science credential. Mary says her interest in science started at St. Philip’s with the science club. My husband Greg and I have been St. Philip the Apostle parishioners for more than twenty-five years. It is a tremendous privilege to get to be a volunteer at St. Philip the Apostle School, a chance to give back to a community that has done so much to support all our family.

Thank you, Principal Jennifer Ramirez and all the administration and faculty for all your hard work to be ready for the new school year! We are poised to have a great year full of learning and new adventures!

Thank you, parents, for your support of St. Philip the Apostle School! Your support of teachers and administrators helps every school day be more successful. Truly we are a blessed community by your time, talent and treasure. Your extraordinary support of Blessed Are the Children helps provide programs and resources to benefit all students. Please continue to participate in our community and don’t forget to make your voice heard by responding to school and parish surveys.

If you are interested in getting more involved, please consider joining a school board committee. These volunteers help with everything from our school’s budget, building projects, strategic planning, fundraising, and public relations.

Thank you again for all you do, God Bless, Annie Van Dyke School Board President

Fr. Joe Moniz Educational Fund

Fr. Joe served St. Philip the Apostle Parish for 20 years as our pastor. To honor his legacy of supporting Catholic education, we established an endowment in his name at the Catholic Community Foundation of Los Angeles to support tuition assistance and the educational needs of all St. Philip the Apostle School students. As this fund grows, our school will greatly benefit from financial stability in the future years. 

The Fr. Joe Fund will be supported through our annual “Paddle Raise” at the Red Tie Bash.  Be sure to attend, and raise your paddle to support the FJF!
