Family Messenger May 22, 2008

God our Father, We know that you love humility and give special grace to the humble. Through the humble birth of your Son, you brought peace and healing to all the world. Help us to be humble and to tell your story. We ask this through Christ our Lord Amen.

Dear Parents,

We have all heard about the devastating earthquake in China, and we are called to do what we can to offer our support. Ricki Lubell, student council member, visited the American Red Cross to ask how Incarnation School could be of help. The Red Cross indicated that the best aid would be monetary donations. There will be a free dress sale this Friday, May 23, and the proceeds will be donated to the Glendale chapter of the American Red Cross for disaster relief in China. Please support this fundraiser! A flyer is enclosed.

Yesterday Mila Mendoza, grade 1, assumed the role of Principal for the Day! She joined me in conducting classroom observations, supervising students on the playground, and putting together this week’s newsletter. Thank you, Mila!

Question of the Week
When people love each other, how do they treat each other?

Have a safe Memorial Day weekend!

God Bless,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal


Emergency Preparedness Drill
Thank you to all families who participated in the emergency drill last week. It was a great learning experience for all of us. We will revisit the drill at our faculty meeting this week to discuss how we can improve. The staff at Nestle was present during the entire drill and has provided us with feedback.

Spring Show
The Spring Show is this Thursday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the church. Students should arrive in their classrooms at 6:30 p.m. There will be no supervision before 6:30, so please do not drop your child(ren) off any earlier. The theme of the concert is patriotic so the attire should match. The preferred attire is black/blue pants (skirt for girls); red, white, or blue shirt (or combination); black shoes, or “Sunday best.”
