Happy Wednesday KCS Families,
By now, you should have received an email from Superintendent Deegan informing you that he has
called a snow day for tomorrow, Thursday, December 17th, for the entire Archdiocese of New York. To
the best of my recollection, in almost 30 years with the Archdiocese, this is an unprecedented action,
occurring during these unprecedented times. The faculty, staff, and I are grateful to our
Superintendent, not just because we have a day off from work, but because he recognizes that during
this time of turbulence and uncertainty, a snow day, especially the first snow day, is a welcome
hallmark of childhood that brings joy to children’s hearts. For a moment tomorrow, we can all let go
of anxiety, fear, and stress and play in the snow!
In keeping with that spirit, the snow day tomorrow will be, as Mr. Deegan stated, a true snow day- no
books, no computers, no Zearning, no Zooming, and no Seesaw-ing! Please enjoy a day without stress
and do something that brings you joy- perhaps snuggle up with your children, make cocoa, read a
good book, watch a Christmas movie, or wrap gifts. Build a snowman, write Christmas cards, walk in
the snow covered woods…exhale and enjoy.
Again, I wish to thank you, and the amazing KCS staff, for your sincere effort and dedication to
keeping our school community safe and healthy. Our partnership with our parents and families has
helped us come this far. As I said to you last spring, together- we’ve got this!
Wishing you a white and wonderful first snow day of the season.
Blessings,
Mrs. Albert
