Message from Mr. Riley, St. Elizabeth Principal:

As we begin this new year and new semester, I want to share with you an opportunity for our parents to have a conversation on diversity and inclusion here at St. Elizabeth. 

Our teachers received training in August and after that meeting a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion School Committee was formed.  Our new Guidance Counselor, Sarah Kindscher, is the Chairperson of this group, and eight other teachers are part of this group as well.  This committee has worked diligently on goals and now we seek parent input.

Inclusion is already such a large part of our mission as a Catholic school - inclusion of all learners and people; it is our hope as many parents as possible will make it a priority to attend this Zoom meeting at 7:00 PM on January 27. 

​This invitation is a call for all of us to participate in helping to solidify our position as a welcoming and inclusive Catholic school community.  This takes all of us and that is why we need you to be a part of it.  We have the most amazing people (you, your children and our teachers), and that’s what makes our community so unique.

Personally, I feel very strongly about this DEI Committee and the steps they have taken and I hope you want to learn more.  I am excited for what is to come.  Will you join me on this journey?  This opportunity is for all of us and challenges us to be the best we can be.

Please read this Inclusion Dialogue Parent Flyer to learn about this terrific opportunity via Zoom to hear a well-known speaker discuss how we can embrace different perspectives and the experience of others and how we as a faith community can work to love as Jesus taught us.
