Lord God,
Give us your eyes that we may see others as you see them
and love them as you do. We ask this through Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Next week we begin celebrating Catholic Schools Week. The theme for 2008 is Catholic Schools Light the Way. “The theme focuses on the leadership that Catholic Schools provide to our nation, producing graduates who light the way to a brighter future for all humankind.
The theme also highlights the spiritual foundation of Catholic schools, for we are on ‘The Way,’ a biblical term used to describe those who follow Jesus as disciples. The slogan, ‘Catholic Schools Light the Way,’ reminds us that we are called to ‘light the way’ to the kingdom for others even as we walk ‘the way’ of discipleship and grow in faith ourselves” (NCEA).

The Student Council has planned a number of activities for the students. The schedule for next week is as follows:
Monday, 1/28– Chalk Contest: “Light the Way” (10:15 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.)
Tuesday, 1/29 – Movie and Pajama Day
Grades K-5: recess at 9:45; movie - 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Wednesday, 1/30 – Student Council/Faculty Volleyball Game (12:45 p.m.) and Crazy Day
Thursday, 1/31 – Class Poster Contest: How does your class “Light the Way?”
Friday, 2/1 – Grandparents Day: 10:30 a.m. Mass; 12:00 p.m. dismissal

Please join us as we conclude the week’s celebration on Sunday, 2/3 with a special Mass at 9:00 a.m. Following the Mass we will host our Open House from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
