St. Philip the Apostle School

Principal Notes

6/6/2022

Dear Parents,

This week we say goodbye to the Class of 2022. We are so proud of them for their perseverance and resilience. Halfway through their sixth grade year they suddenly had to go on remote learning and then they really didn’t return to normal school until 8th grade. Yet they earned good grades, received many high school acceptances, and successfully completed their Capstone projects, and the DC trip. They are so talented, the production of Legally Blonde this weekend being the perfect example. They went to playoffs in basketball, ending up in 2nd place while also competing in multiple other sports and in speech and debate. But more than any of this, they have kept their spirit and their love for life. We are going to miss them. We truly wish them the very best as they continue on their journey, to high school. 

 Best of luck and God’s graces to the Class of 2022.  

Jennifer

A Message from our School Board President

June 2022

Dear SPA School Community,

The year is winding down quickly and so is my term as your St. Philip the Apostle School Board President. It has been an eventful two years and I enjoyed every minute of serving you, our school community.

Our school is blessed by the leadership of Principal Ramirez, our administration, our teachers, and the unending devotion of our volunteers. Thank you all for working tirelessly to ensure the wellbeing and success of our students. Perseverance would have been impossible without you. 

It is with great pleasure that I announce next year’s St. Philip the Apostle School Board’s Officers. This group of talented and dedicated individuals will be led by Annie Van Dyke, our board President for the next two years. 

The Van Dyke family has been parishioners at St. Philip the Apostle for 25 years. They are the proud parents of two daughters – Catherine and Mary – who graduated from St. Philip the Apostle School in 2008 and 2010. While Annie was a parent, she was active with Girl Scouts and served as room parent for PTO. She rejoined the ranks of our school’s volunteers in 2017 as a member of our Policy and Planning committee and became chair of the committee in 2020. 

Annie also brings a wealth of professional experience to the role. She spent her career teaching social studies at Monrovia High School and currently sits on the Holy Family High School Board of Directors. She also volunteers for Monrovia Reads and is a tutor for Homeboy Industries’ continuation school. 

Our school community is blessed to have such a knowledgeable, self-motivated, and philanthropic individual step up to be a leader in our community.

Enjoy your summer!

God bless,

Sara Vanis
