A Thank You Letter to ACE Advocates for Catholic Schools

September 2012

Dear Friends,

Warm greetings from Notre Dame and the Alliance for Catholic Education! With the new school year in full-swing, we wanted to take a moment to thank all who make the ACE Movement a force for sustaining, strengthening, and transforming Catholic schools.

Thank you to the 180 teachers and 60 school leaders enrolled in ACE's degree programs this year! Thanks to the many teachers who are gaining additional skills through ACE's English as a New Language and Teaching Exceptional Children programs! Thank you to the countless superintendents, principals, and mentor teachers who are helping ACE form a new generation of exceptionally talented, faith-filled leaders for Catholic schools! Thanks to the nearly two-thousand ACE graduates who continue the work of making a high quality Catholic school education available to all!

Thank you to ACE's innumerable friends, partners, and collaborators. You are the engine for ACE's work in service to Catholic schools, the Church, and the nation; you are the ACE Movement!

This will be an exciting year for ACE's mission, and this monthly e-newsletter will keep you updated on our programs and activities. I hope that you'll find our newsletter to be informative, but also invitational: We're always eager to hear from you, and to learn more about how we can be of service. And, if you enjoy what you read, we ask that you invite your colleagues and friends to sign up as well.

May the new year bring many graces to you and your family, and may Christ the Teacher shower you with blessings!

Chuck Lamphier, Director, ACE Advocates
