Dear Editor: Holy Family Catholic Academy in Fresh Meadows, Queens is a very special place of learning, because the teaching of the Catholic faith is ongoing every single day in every classroom.

Our Academy has a wonderful, caring, loving and devoted principal, faculty and staff who give 200 percent each and every day to the education of these wonderful students.

Also, our Home School Association parents and their committees work tirelessly throughout each school year, running fundraisers to help bring in added income for the school.

Our pastor, Father Sean Suckiel is a wonderful priest, a spiritual and faith filled prelate who works very hard as well, and Holy Family Parish and Catholic Academy are very fortunate and very happy to have him here. He has so much zest and positive energy, and all of us at Holy Family feel that as well.

May Holy Family Catholic Academy continue to shine as brightly as the Emerald City today and always, because it really is a family filled with care, respect, love and kindness and values.

John Amato
