[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would not have been offered a spot at LFS in pre-k.   Filled abs waiting list for last two years [/quote]

You missed what I was saying. For any grade BUT pre-K, and maybe K, the “little flower” branding is not great. [/quote]

Um it’s not “branding.” It’s the name of a saint. WTH?[/quote]

Yes, of course many (most?) Catholics would recognize it as the nickname for St. Therese. Does not change the fact that to non-Catholics, it will not come across as a Catholic (or even religious) name, and for those it doesn't ring a bell with, it would more likely sound like a name of a non-denomination daycare/preschool than a PK-8 school.

Little Tree, Little Folks, Little Cottage, Little Ambassadors, Little Explorers, Little Acorn Patch, Little River, Little Oaks, Little Genius, Little Hands, Little Scholars, Little Lambs, Little Rocketeers... I wish I was making this list up, but a quick google search shows they are all preschools in this area.[/quote]

So? Why should a Catholic school (or a parent sending their kid there) care about people who don't understand the name of their school?[/quote]

NP. Lifelong Catholic and lifelong Catholic schools for me ... K-8, 9-12, went to a Catholic university and a separate Jesuit grad school - but all in other parts of the country, so LF school is new to me. I did not know St. Terese was called The Little Flower until a few months before the pandemic when we went to a baptism at the church. Had I been seeking a list of Catholic grade schools and someone sent me a list including Holy Trinity, Our Lady of Victory, Little Flower, and others in the area, I would not have thought of LF as a Catholic school and like PP would have thought someone was including it on the list for my toddler child.

It's fine if you think I'm a bad Catholic for not knowing that. I'm sure you are a perfect Catholic in all ways! Good for you.[/quote]
