Raider Ramblings

Thank you for joining us for a late edition of Mr. Turney’s Raider Ramblings!

Raider of the Week

Brendan – 1st Grade – Mrs. Schwer’s Homeroom

When one of of his classmates broke his arm, and was in need of some extra help, Brendan stepped right in to do the job. Without his teacher even asking, Brendan helped his classmate put his coat on and even zipped it up for him so he could be ready for dismissal on time. What a great leader and friend!

State of the School Address and SAB Strategic Plan

Thank you families for attending our annual State of the School address in-person or virtually.  

This is an exciting time at Most Holy Redeemer School. As stated by Board President Joe Terri, our MHR School Advisory Board is launching a strategic process that will build upon our recent momentum and help shape our future.  

We have identified several key pillars in which to strategize around, and are now asking for your help in prioritizing our actions.  Please take a few minutes to complete the survey linked here.  MHR has thrived for 80 years.  Your insight will help us define our next 80.   

Thank you for your time and commitment to MHR.
