Title: Holy Family Elementary
By: Melissa Pfeifer
For the last eight
years of my life, I’ve been walking up and down the same
tiled hallways, of my second home, Holy Family Elementary.
From the first day of my preschool class up until now, not
much has changed about the school, yet every day is even
more of a blessing than the last. Without this school, I
wouldn’t be the same person I am today. HFE has had a big
impact on me and has played a key role in my life.
Catholic Schools Week
It’s hard to believe my
time here is almost done. It seems just yesterday I was
sitting in my preschool classroom. None the less, even
though I’ll be graduating in May, I won’t forget the life
lessons I have learned while I’ve been here. HFE has always
taught to be Christ to one another and has emphasized
strongly to help those in need. I honestly believe that
these lessons are much more important than what we learn in
a classroom everyday.
I am so fortunate to be
able to attend a Catholic school, where I can freely express
my religion. Even more so, I am extremely blessed to be able
to attend this Catholic school, Holy Family Elementary. I’ll
never forget my time here or how it has made me a better
person.
