Dear Parents,
I hope everyone enjoyed their week off. I know I did. After having a week off we will be in school for three and a half days this week. Half day of school on Thursday, February 26th, 12:30 dismissal. There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, February 27th. Enjoy your long weekend.
On March 10th the Second Graders will be going to Cherish and on March 24th we will be going to Day Out. Way back in August or September some of you signed up to drive. I will be contacting you to find out if you are still available to drive. On March 20th the Second Graders will be leading the Stations of the Cross at morning prayer. Please try to attend.
All school mass for Ash Wednesday, February 25th at 8:15 a.m is the beginning of Lent. Lent is about prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Prayer can be a spontaneous expression of thanksgiving to God for what we have or formal prayers such as Stations of the Cross. Fasting, can be denying ourselves of something such as candy, soda or T.V., or we can "fast" from bad habits like saying unkind things about others. Almsgiving, does not mean we have to open our wallets ,instead, a kind word, a compliment or a smile can be a rich expression of alms. Remind your child that Lent is an important part of the Catholic faith.
