Dear Our Lady of Mount Carmel Families, 

        As I write this, the 2019-2020 school year has officially concluded at OLMC. To say that this school year was different would be a huge understatement. I want to start off by thanking all of our faculty and staff, our wondrful students and, of course, the parents. The challenge that was presented to us in mid-March was monumental, yet in true Mount Carmel fashion we all rose to the occasion. We did it with teamwork, perserverence and determination. These are all trademarks of what are engrained in the fabric of our school and our community. Before March, we were busy conducting major upgrades to our physical structure, with even more plans set to take place in the Spring. Those plans stalled, but what was born out of the hardships of a pandemic was possibly our greatest accomplishment this year - the creation of a remote learning platform. This new platform was not just something that was required, but something that was long overdue. In less than a month, every student was linked and funtioning remotely on either Google Classroom or Class Dojo. Every student from our three year olds through our 8th grade were not just up and running, but turning out excellent work. We long to be back in our building and with your children. Believe me we missed them as much as they missed us. I want to take this opportunity to again thank all of the parents for re-registering and committing to us for next year and hopefully into the future. This tells me that you appreciate the hard work and our dedication to your children. My promise is that we will continue to improve in all areas for your children. Lastly, I want to congratulate the Class of 2020 on their great accomplishment and we wish them all the best as they move on to high school. They were a wonderful group and we will miss them in the building. These young men and women always represented Mount Carmel with pride and dignity. I wish you all an awesome Summer and can't wait to see you for morning lineup in September. Be safe and be well.

Regards and Blessings,
Mr. John Musto, Principal
