Hello, St. Bede Community! My name is Kari Rybarczyk and I am delighted to be the new Principal of St. Bede School. I know that this past school year brought many new and unprecedented challenges, but I continue to feel encouraged by the efforts and dedication brought forth from students, parents and teachers as we adapted to elearning. We gained valuable insights into what matters most in our lives, our family and each other.
I’m excited for the opportunity to experience the rich traditions and highly regarded reputation of St. Bede School. I'm looking forward to joining a team of educators, staff members, parents, priests, stakeholders and community partners who put students' needs first, but most of all I cannot wait to meet the students as they are the main reason I am passionate about Catholic school education. It is an honor and privilege to help children grow spiritually, academically, and socially in a Christ-centered school. Although we have some challenges to face ahead, like growing enrollment, improving the budget, and employing appropriate safety measures so we can reopen our school this year, I know that together we can work collaboratively to succeed and best serve our students. I look forward to meeting you all soon as we are working on a meet and greet event with appropriate safety measures put into place.
Over the summer, we will keep you up-to-date as we develop our plans to reopen and have face-to-face instruction and continue the community learning environment that has been the Hallmark of Catholic School education over the years. Be assured we will do whatever is needed to open our school this year!!
Please and joy,
Mrs. Kari Rybarczyk
St. Bede School, Principal
