Sr. MaryAnne Bolger, IHM

This has been a “year for the books!!!” It will be a year we shall all remember – for various reasons!
When we left school on March 13, 2020 little did we think that it would be for the rest of the school
year. It was supposed to be for two weeks. Two weeks turned into two more weeks, and then two
more, and finally it took us into the end of the school year.
I do not know what God’s Plan is but I DO know He has one. Plus, I know that He will provide. If nothing
else, this year has brought us to our knees, keeping the faith, staying positive, and surrendering to His
Divine Will.

Thank God for technology as it helped us tremendously to keep close when we needed to keep a
distance. It helped us with our lessons, and during this year, we learned that necessity is the mother to
creativity. We had to be creative in ways perhaps we never knew we were capable of being. We had to
be responsible in a new way. We had to learn flexibility-all of these helping us to grow in a new and
different way.

Now it is time to take our new “normal” and use it in yet greater ways. Saint Laurence is the BEST – it
always was and now with all this new learning we will be even BETTER!!!!!!
Remember God over the summer – keep Him as your priority. He will see you through.
You are a blessing to Saint Laurence School and you are ever a part of the heart of Saint Laurence.

God bless all of our students!
