LENT
This Wednesday, we began the liturgical season of Lent with Mass at 8:30am in the chapel and the distributing of ashes. As Father Carroll states in his Chaplain Corner: Lent is a time of reflection and preparation. We are challenged to become better Christians, better disciples, better followers of Christ. A true disciple is a person who just doesn’t do certain things, but even more importantly, one who does certain things. We need to ask ourselves: What can I do to be a better Christian – to let people know without my having to tell them – that I am a follower of Christ?
NON-UNIFORM PASS DAY
This Thursday is our February Non-Uniform Pass Day. If you purchased a coupon book at last year’s Benefit Dinner, tomorrow is the day to redeem the February coupon. FYI: coupon books for next school year will go on sale at this year’s Benefit Dinner on March 5.
MIDTERM
Third quarter midterm is tomorrow, February 11. Midterm reports will be sent home on Friday, February 19. Please note that all tuition, meal, and Extended Day payments must be current in order to receive this report. Return the signed Progress Reports on Monday, February 22. Thank you for your cooperation.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, on Thursday, February 11th, students are invited to wear a Valentine accessory with their uniform, such as a red ribbon, valentine-themed pin, a piece of red jewelry, red socks, shoes, or shirt. Thanks for making sure the item is age and Catholic school appropriate. Wishing you all a day filled with valentine blessings.
NO SCHOOL
There is no school on Friday, February 12, due to Staff Meeting/Professional Learning Communities and Monday, February 15, in honor of Presidents’ Day.
