Week of May 13, 2024

Dear parents,

As the school year is coming to a close, we have a few “housekeeping” things to tidy up. All library books need to be turned in, all lunch and extended day balances need to be taken care of, and all OTC and prescription medications will need to be picked up by the last day of school. Lastly, we will have all lost and found items outside next week.

Field Day is this Friday and it is a 1pm dismissal (yes, extended day is available). Tuesday, May 14 is the last ASAP for middle school students this year.

Please pray for our 8th graders as they leave tomorrow morning for their 8th Grade Class Trip.

In Christ,

Mrs. Saundra Kennison, principal

My background

BS in Physical Education and Health - IUPUI; MS in School Administration – Indiana Wesleyan

Why do I work at St. Malachy

I truly believe that God called me to St. Malachy; it’s in His plan for me. I love working with all the students and staff at St. Malachy.

Where do I usually sit in Church

Well at school mass, I sit with Mrs. Prahl’s class because Mrs. Prahl was my sponsor when I went through RCIA. However, when I attend mass with my husband, we usually sit in the back not so we can sneak out but because we can sit down quickly and see Jesus in the stained glass.

How would I describe St. Malachy to someone who has never been here

It’s home…where my other family comes to grow. St. Malachy is a family that has very high expectations and students and staff sometimes experience growing pains, but when their time comes to leave St. Malachy they are more than prepared to meet and conquer the next challenge knowing that they can calls us if they ever need help because we are family!

Home, family, pets

I’ve been married to my amazing husband, George, for 27 years. We have three children and one princess (Macy our 2 year old boxer).

Favorite scripture passage

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” Philippians 4:13. This is the reason I am capable of doing anything and all praise goes to God.

One memory of church growing up

I didn’t like going to church because it seemed so long, but now as an adult, I love going to mass to celebrate!
