Sister Miriam Kaeser, principal at St. Boniface School in Northside, is one amazing woman. Yesterday, on a cold, rainy afternoon in May, Sr. Miriam spent her last day before retirement saying good-bye to her students and families. Under an umbrella, amid sad goodbyes, she warmly greeted each family as they paraded by in their cars.

The St. Boniface team of teachers, staff and volunteers distributed bags of summer engagement supplies to each family. The bags included games, puzzles, snacks, books and fun activities for summer break. In addition, each family received a box of healthy and nutritious food items.

Sr. Miriam has been serving children in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for more than 50 years; always with a friendly smile and determined dedication. In her roles as teacher, principal and Regional Director for the CISE schools, she has helped rewrite countless futures for children living in poverty.

Sr. Miriam, thank you for your service. You will be missed!
