Merciful and loving Father,
Just as the warmth from a candle rises up to heaven,
Receive and bless our Lenten prayers.
In our Lenten fast, may our hearts be open and ready
to be filled with your love.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Lent is a season of turning to God in simplicity and sincerity as we prepare to celebrate the joy of Easter. Life so easily carries us away that we get distracted from our relationship with Jesus. Lent is the time we try with all our hearts to turn back to God through repentance. We also come closer to God by spending more time praying, by fasting, and by giving alms. Many of us make sacrifices during Lent to make our hearts, souls, and minds full with love for God and for our neighbors. All of our work during Lent leads us to Easter, when we will join in celebrating the Resurrection. Students will participate in an all school mass tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. led by the eighth grade class.
Please pray for the second grade class and the Incarnation Religious Education students who will be receiving the sacrament of reconciliation this evening.
God Bless,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Did you know? If each of our 200 school families purchased scrip to buy gas at approximately $150 per month, we would earn $600 in profit a month or $7,200 per year. All courtesy of Arco/Chevron/Shell. It's that simple.
Electrical Upgrade Update
The design for the update of our electrical infrastructure is approximately 75 – 85% complete. We expect it to be finalized within the next two weeks. Once the design is complete, we will be getting more accurate cost estimates.

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Make sure you keep purchasing. Your family report of profits will be coming out the beginning of March. If you've hit $200 in profit, and have paid in your initial $200, you will be refunded the $200. Those that have already hit $200 in profit, keep purchasing. Your profits will continued to be credited with 50% offered back to you at the end of the year.
With you, we will always have enough of what we need.
May we always remember that you are the source of everything.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Did I mention that we have great Valentine's Day Options? Show the love and stop by the scrip table or send in your order with your child. If you're thinking of getting something for your teachers, we have many $10 options; Borders, Blockbuster, Burger King, CPK, Carl's Jr., Claires, El Pollo Loco, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, and Subway. Don't forget your kids. A trip to the movies (AMC) or Chuck E. Cheese would be a blast. We also have many options for that special someone in your life; Macy's, Bath and Body Works, Gap/Banana Republic, Best Buy...just to name a few.

God of heaven and earth,
You breathed your holy breath
into us so that we might have life.
Send your Spirit to breathe on us again
so that we may live more fully
as your own sons and daughters.
We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
It was a joy to see the large crowd coming to spend the morning with our students last Friday. Each class prepared a special performance for their grandparents and special friends. The Mass was beautifully prepared, and I hope that all of our visitors enjoyed their day. Pictures of the event are posted on our website.
In this week’s envelope, you will find the re-registration packet for current students and new siblings. The re-registration period is from February 4 through March 1. Please be sure to submit your forms to guarantee a space in your child’s class. All balances must be current in order to be able to officially register for the 2009-2010 school year. Since we are receiving many applications for new students, we would like to be able to notify our new applicants of their status in early March. Any re-registration forms received after March 1 will be considered along with the new student applications, and a space in the class cannot be guaranteed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the school office.
Thank you and have a blessed week!

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Good news, Best Buy has increased the percentage to 3% and Whole Foods is back in stock.
Valentines Day is just around the corner. When thinking of what to do with your Valentine, don't forget to purchase scrip. AMC movie tickets can be used at the 3 theaters in Burbank with dinner afterwards at California Pizza Kitchen, Islands, or PF Changs (all with scrip of course). If you are registered with eScrip, Chadaka Thai is my favorite thai in the area and they contribute to eScrip (Yum...I hope my Valentine is reading this--wink, wink).
