Fostering a faith-filled and academically strong environment Saint Ambrose Catholic School works with
families and the faith community to encourage the formation of the whole child through the examples and
teachings of Jesus Christ
Dear St Ambrose Community
It is hard to believe that fall will be arriving soon and that
we have been in school for a month already
One of our major goals this year was to upgrade our smart
boards Based on past yearsrsquo reserve funds from the PTO
we were able to accomplish some part of our goal for this
year I would like to announce that our PTO approved the
purchase of seven Promethean Active Panels to replace
our old Smart boards from second to eighth grade This
purchase will improve our direct instruction in the class-
room and will benefit our students tremendously We will
continue to fundraise to be able to upgrade our smart
boards for pre-k to first grade advanced math and the
stage (music) The faculty staff and I would like to thank
our parents for their generosity and continued support
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me
at any time
Yours in Christ

MISSION STATEMENT
Fostering a faith-filled and academically strong environment Saint Ambrose Catholic School works with
families and the faith community to encourage the formation of the whole child through the examples and
teachings of Jesus Christ
Dear St Ambrose Community
It is hard to believe that fall will be arriving soon and that
we have been in school for a month already
One of our major goals this year was to upgrade our smart
boards Based on past yearsrsquo reserve funds from the PTO
we were able to accomplish some part of our goal for this
year I would like to announce that our PTO approved the
purchase of seven Promethean Active Panels to replace
our old Smart boards from second to eighth grade This
purchase will improve our direct instruction in the class-
room and will benefit our students tremendously We will
continue to fundraise to be able to upgrade our smart
boards for pre-k to first grade advanced math and the
stage (music) The faculty staff and I would like to thank
our parents for their generosity and continued support
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me
at any time
Yours in Christ
Maria Tejada
