[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]

Let's review some other saint's nicknames to make the point you are missing:

St. Thomas Aquinas' nickname: "the Dumb Ox"
St. Joan of Arc's nickname: "the Maid of Orleans"
St. Anthony's nickname: "the Hammer of Heretics"
the disciples James and John, nicknamed (by Jesus) "the Sons of Thunder"
and the list goes on.

When used as a chosen name of a parish or school, we **are** talking about branding. Just because it is a saint's nickname doesn't make it a "good name" for a school or church community. You are kidding yourself if you think Dumb Ox School, Maid of Orleans Academy, Hammer of Heretics High School, or Sons of Thunder School just because they are all rooted in saint nicknames.

It's not disrespectful to say that one of these nicknames is a goofy name for a school. Little Flower **does** sound like it could be the competing daycare for Little Acorn Patch and if you don't get that I think you are missing the point.[/quote]
