Biographies for Prospective OLR Catholic School Council Parent Voting Members for 2023-2024:

  1.  Jessica Cutrone : My name is Jessica Cutrone and I have been a member of the OLR community for 14 years. I have spent many years volunteering for various events and have spent the last 5 as an active council member. I currently hold the position of Chair and could like to continue in that role this upcoming year. I have had two sons graduate from OLR and currently have three daughters in grades 1,3&5. I am committed to the future of OLR and all its students and will do my best to help make our school an even better place for our kids.

2. Marco Cariati: Marco, a devoted father of two daughters, is on a mission to improve their school and create a positive impact. His goal is to make their school a better place for all students.

3. Geoffrey Paterson: I have been a member of the OLR CSC for the past two years, and would like to continue with supporting the OLR community as a member for the 2023-2024 school year. As a parent in the OLR community, I have a keen interest in our children’s education, individual growth, and overall well-being as they continue beyond the impact of the COVID pandemic. As a member of the OLR CSC, I would like to promote and contribute towards the future academic and extra-curricular successes of our school.

4. Elizabeth O: As a member of the OLR CSC for the past seven years, I have served in various capacities, most recently, as Secretary for the past two years. I enjoy being an active parent in our school community and look forward to continuing to work together to enhance our children’s experience at OLR.

5. Fatima Monge: Hello, my name is Fatima Monge, my child Nickolas is attending FDJK at OLR and I, was a previous student at the school, graduation year 1994 and attended St. Elizabeth CHS, graduation year 1999. I have also lived in the Glen Shields community since 1990. This will be the first time I will be involved and am extremely interested and excited to be joining the school council. I missed my chance at becoming an official council member at my son’s day care however I did attend the annual council meetings and seminars to keep up to date. I found the meetings highly informative, and I wish to be more officially involved throughout the years and hopefully make a positive contribution. I believe that as a parent of a child attending the school, participation in the school council is important to support my child and all children’s leaning experience and well being. I also hope to advocate for the children and the school in any way such as funding issues and planning special events. I hope that I may contribute my skills and partner with Principal Kwon, teachers and parents to achieve all our goals for this year. Thank you for considering my self nomination; I look forward to meeting you all at the first council meeting. Kindly, Fatima Monge
6. Nikisha Hassanali: My two children are now at OLR and so I would like to dedicate some of my time to helping make their experience and growth at OLR the best it can be. We are a mixed family. I’m Trinidadian, my husband is Canadian Italian and we believe in having the kids well-rounded. And so, whatever we can do to help the children become more well-rounded, we’re here to serve.
7. Amanda Luchetta: Hello! I’m Amanda Luchetta, proud parent of my son currently attending OLR in SK. I thought this would be a great opportunity to join the council, as I believe any parent involvement is a huge factor in the contribution to a child’s success in school. With a background in Event Planning, I believe that will be an asset and a positive addition to the council. Let’s make this academic year a safe, fun and invigorating year for our OLR students to remember!

 

Thank you for your continued support of our students at Our Lady of the Rosary CES.

 

Sincerely,

 

W. H Kwon
