Weekly Newsletter – March 5, 2026

PRINCIPAL’S NOTE

We started Lent, the 40 days of Preparation for Easter. We will focus on three goals of Lenten activity: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. Ask your student what these mean to them.

NO SCHOOL

There is no school on Friday, March 13 Teachers Institute

ROBLOX, SMART PHONES AND TABLETS

We are seeing students fall asleep in the morning classes, and they are very honest:

“I was up late”: “playing ROBLOX”; “on SNAPCHAT”; “watching YOUTUBE”. 

PLEASE do your students a favor and collect their phones, tablets, etc before 8 PM.

We cannot educate a student who is half asleep. They need your help to set/understand the limits of the Internet.

RECONCILIATION SERVICE

Fr. Carroll will lead a Reconciliation Service for our students on Wednesday, March 11, at 2:30pm. As we continue with our Lenten journey, students will have time to reflect on changes they have made in their lives through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Please feel free to join us at this prayer service.

EACH ONE, TEACH ONE

We warmly invite you to join us at Sister Thea Bowman Catholic School on Thursday, March 12, 2026. The Doors will open at 2:00 PM, and the event will conclude at 5:00 PM. All are welcome to attend — we look forward to seeing you there!
