Bless our teachers as they seek to teach, enrich and guide your precious children.
Grant them intelligence, wisdom, sensitivity, and kindness, to transform some of these buds into brilliant flower that will bring light, color, and happiness to all who encounter them.
Lord, wrap your loving arms around these teachers who give so much of themselves for your children. Strengthen and soothe them when they have given so much of themselves that they need your extra care. We pray that you will watch over them always—
these special people who hold our children and our future in their hands.
Amen.
Dear Parents,
This week schools across the nation are celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. This special week was kicked off with classroom doors decorated with thank you notes from all the students. The week continues with special gifts from the students, the PTO Board, and the school as small tokens of appreciation for all the work they do for our children.
When we express our gratitude for our teachers, we take the time to reflect on the positive ways that have impacted our students’ lives and our school community. I’m sure we can all recall a special teacher that made a difference in our lives. We might not have even realized the influence they had until years later. For these teachers—the listeners, motivators, caregivers, and mentors—we are truly thankful. We are blessed to have teachers at Incarnation dedicated to educating our children, and we wish them a very special week!
God Bless,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal
Auction Dinner Thank You
The “Night of Elegance” Auction Dinner Dance was a great success thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Georgette Mueckay, the Auction Committee, everyone who donated items, all who sold and purchased raffle tickets, and those who attended the event. Thank you for your support of Incarnation School! We are in the process of recording our numbers and will release that information as soon as it is available.
Some families did not sell or have not paid their $100 in raffle tickets. Although the raffle is over, the mandatory $100 for the raffle is still due. Please contact Mrs. Fenton if you have any questions.
And the Winner Is…
