The Saint Jean Baptiste school year is officially underway! Last week, our newest Jeanites joined us for Freshman Orientation, meeting their classmates and teachers and getting familiar with life at SJB.
Our Academic Dean, Ms. Pilch, welcomed the Class of 2030 with a message about growth, openness, and the importance of sisterhood. Drawing on the words of our foundress, Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, she encouraged the girls:
“When you stay open—to learning, to kindness, to challenges, to new experiences, and to grace—you begin to truly blossom.”
Ms. Pilch also reminded the girls that the SJB sisterhood existed long before they arrived and will continue long after they graduate. She encouraged them to “Get to know one another. Make room for one another. Celebrate each other’s successes. And when one of your sisters is having a hard day, be the person who reminds her that she doesn’t have to go through it alone.”
We are excited to welcome our newest Jeanites into a sisterhood that spans generations and look forward to all they will accomplish at SJB!
