 Greetings!
As we near graduation, we at Gross Catholic would like to thank you for giving us the privilege of working with your children for these years. They have been a blessing to our school and have certainly made their contribution to our community. We are truly confident that they will have continued success.
We are especially proud of their numerous scholarship awards to many prestigious colleges and universities. The list is so impressive! We know these seniors are well-prepared for their post-secondary education.
As the end of the school year approaches, we wish to communicate with you the important information you will need regarding upcoming senior events. Seniors are required to attend all events such as rehearsals, Recognition Day, Baccalaureate Mass, Graduation, etc.
Once again, we thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your children. We are proud to have helped these young people become young adults, and we are grateful for the relationship we have established with families such as yours.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dorothy Ostrowski
Principal
