Fr. Doyle Community,
My apologies, I forgot to post the daily update yesterday!
I wanted to take a moment to reflect upon a passage from one of my favorite works - J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Facing an incredibly dark time in his journey, the main character Frodo Baggins remarks:
"I wish this need not have happened in my time."
Gandalf responds:
"So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
We all wish this school year could have looked differently. Many of our students were looking forward to social events, sports seasons, extra-curricular activities and more. These events are likely going to be much different than what we had imagined. Unfortunately, much of this is out of our control.
Yet, we can control what we do with the time and the resources that we have. I want you to know that we are currently working on more and more creative ways to keep our community together and to cultivate among our students and families a sense of appreciation, recognition, and belonging.
Once again, I cannot thank each of you enough for your continued support of and dedication to our wonderful school.
Until tomorrow,
-Mr. Peloquin
