2014-2015 Annual Report - Our Lady of Fatima School
It has been said about our Jesus that, “to know Him is to love Him!” And isn’t it true? The more we get to know Jesus—the real Jesus and not what the secular media has made of Him-then the more we can only fall in love with Him. Why? Because Jesus tells it like it is, but He does it with love and compassion. He doesn’t compromise the Truth, which sometimes disturbs the comfortable. But He always remains sensitive to the person. A humble person gets His method; a proud person walks away in protest. I think today, more than ever, the Church must be crystal clear about what she teaches. If not, faith is weakened. And we do not have to apologize to the world for what we teach and believe. We have the remedy for the aches and pains of so many lives—it’s Jesus, and the Church He founded, and the Sacraments for which He gave His life to give us! This is how we see the world-with Catholic eyes. And this is our aim and goal for the children of Fatima—to form them to see the world with a faith vision and to pray for others with a Catholic heart. We teach what we do because we love the children. We love their immortal souls, and we want them to one day shine as radiant as the sun for all eternity! And so, behind our efforts, behind our teaching, behind our coaching, behind our decision making is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the real Christ. Thank you for supporting our efforts, and for supporting what you love—JESUS and all that His life means for us. Why? Because to know Him is to love Him! — Rev. Michael J. Russo Our Lady of Fatima School continues to thrive due to the stakeholders who support what they love - their faith, children, school, community, and family! Support is easily seen in many areas of the school environment. The students at Our Lady of Fatima School continue to uphold an above average composite on national criteria-based tests, continuing to make a consistent climb over the past few years. Our parents, grandparents and family members take time out of their busy schedules to spend prayer time with their students in the Adoration Chapel. The administration, faculty and staff of Our Lady of Fatima School continue to meet standards of excellence set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Community businesses and organizations invest in Our Lady of Fatima School by offering grants, serving as educational speakers, making donations for students, and offering many other services beneficial to our school community. Parents, grandparents, and other family members participate in making Our Lady of Fatima School successful by way of contributing to an active Parent/ Teacher Support Club, Athletic Booster Club, Foundation Committee, and Alumni Association. The support that the school receives is not only by way of financial assistance, but also by way of giving encouragement and positive feedback to the school community. Our Lady of Fatima School was able to use the support received during the 2013-2014 school year to continue to better our already existing school of excellence. Teachers and staff members were educated on differentiated teaching strategies in order to help them better meet the needs of all of their students. National and local conferences were attended by administration and faculty focusing on technology, mathematics, anti-bullying strategies, and many other fields of study. A national speaker, Mrs. Steph Jenson, spoke to the students, faculty, and parents on anti-bullying strategies, strategies that can be used both inside and outside the classroom, at a professional development meeting held on the school campus. Support clubs at Our Lady of Fatima School arrange opportunities to enhance the Catholic education provided to our students. These organizations make events, such as field day, the school talent show, and educational hands-on symposiums possible. They also provide social opportunities for former OLF students to come back on campus to reminisce and share their stories of success. In addition, the school library is able to provide the students with the latest titles and most current data bases, which enhances student research and provides more choices for pleasure reading. The purchase of the most up-to-date athletic and physical education equipment is made possible by our athletic support organizations. On behalf of the Our Lady of Fatima School student body, faculty and staff, and myself, I would like to express our deepest gratitude for supporting what you love!! — Mrs. Duos I have been a part of the Fatima family for many years. The thing I love most is the feeling of community. Students, parents, teachers, administration and staff work together to provide the best learning environment possible. The school is moving forward in academics with differentiated instruction. With our youngest students, we use our iPads and laptop computers daily to provide differentiated instruction. The apps and programs help us tailor instructions to meet individual needs based on the developmental levels and interests of our students. A child’s spiritual life is of the utmost importance at OLFS. One of my favorite things about going to Mass is hearing our Pre-K students sing. They sing the new songs they are learning with all their might. It always brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes. It’s really something! I cannot imagine working anywhere else! Debbie Guidroz Pre-K Teacher, 1982 OLFS Graduate For eleven years, Fatima has been part of our family’s daily life. Our sons, Cole, Connor and Cooper, attended Fatima since kindergarten, and we’ve witnessed many positive experiences the school has provided them. From tireless efforts by their teachers, to the administration’s push to expand technology in the classrooms, they have had an exceptional environment to learn and grow. Our oldest son recently graduated from Fatima, moving on to high school. The transition has been relatively easy for him, thanks to the preparation he received at Fatima. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity for our children to receive an education through this school. We’re donors to the Foundation because we want to do whatever we can to help Fatima continue its legacy of providing quality Catholic education now and in the future. The technology infrastructure was updated to include an increased number of wireless access points, making the classroom a more mobile one. With this new wireless capability, students were able to further their studies and meet differentiated academic goals through the use of technology. Junior high religion students were able to gain a better understanding of the stations of the cross by walking from station to station in Chance Hall and using their laptops and QR codes to travel Jesus’ journey to the cross. This mobility gave teachers the ability to use teaching strategies that meet the needs of students who excel with this style of learning.
