So long, Vikings!

Dear St. Bernard Viking students and families:

It was with some sadness that I made the difficult decision to leave the Viking family this summer in order to follow an awesome teaching opportunity that was presented to me. Since this new career path was presented to me so late in the summer, I was unfortunately unable to give advance warning to the rest of the amazing SBHS faculty and have not, in the busy hustle-bustle of the new school year, been able to wish my students and families a proper goodbye and well-wishing.

The last five years have been the best of my teaching career, and I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching at St. Bernard High School. I have had unbelievable experiences in the classroom, on the field, in the courtyard, at dances, at games, and everywhere in between. I have grown as a teacher and have learned so much from my amazing students. I wish I could speak individually to each and every Viking student still on campus and give a personal blessing in this new year -- you will have an amazing year and will continue to grow into the fantastic scholars that you are. Thank you for the many unique personalities and all of the times you have made me laugh and made me feel that special tingly teacher-feeling; the feeling teachers get when their students have those "a-ha!" moments that make all the work worthwhile.

Thank you so much to all of the incredibly supportive, helpful, and dynamic parents and guardians of my students. My job would be impossible without you.

Have a wonderful Autumn, and go Vikings!

Sincerely,

Mr. Robin Power
