Happy 150th St. Bernard's! What a wonderful accomplishment. Enjoy the celebration! I miss you all. - Mrs. Abel

Dear Mr. Allen and Staff, Congratulations on your Sesquicentennial Celebration. As a former teacher of Kindergarten and Second Grades at your school I would have enjoyed celebrating with you and attending the special Mass on February 2nd. However I am still teaching Second Grade at Douglas Elementary in Watertown so I won't be able to attend. You have much to be proud of at St. Bernard's and I hope you have a wonderful celebration. Sincerely, Mrs. K. Batzko Ferguson

To all friends of St. Bernard's,

What a special milestone to reach on the exciting journey of learning and growing together:

--150 years of continued excellence in education,
--pride in belonging to the St. Bernard Parish family and school community,
--generous personal, family and parish support for all that maintaining and advancing a school requires,
--persistent hope and creativity for moving into the future
--all this and more you celebrate in 2007!

Congratulations and thanks from a St. B's graduate in the class of 1959. May the lessons and the relationships that bless/ed you at St. Bernard's help you walk the path ahead in life--focused on Jesus your Light, strengthened by Jesus your friend, called by Jesus your Model, may each of you continue His work daily with love and compassion.

Enjoy the celebration~~ Sister Jeremy Quinn, CSA


Best wishes and congratulations to each and every one of you.
You are the best! I had so hoped and planned to celebrate with you tomorrow, but plans do change. Be assured of my prayers for you.

I had three good years at St. Bernard's in the Religious Ed program, 1979-82. I was sorry to have to leave. (health) Keep up your good work in the Lord's vineyard. Special congratulations to Jeff Allen, that marvelous principal. I remember the day you were hired. What a great choice! Blessings on your continued work. Peace - Sister Marie Kees, CSA
