Family Messenger, February 10, 2009

Loving Father,
In the Eucharist, you give us the food of eternal life.
When we eat the Body of Christ and drink his blood,
make us worthy to receive the gift of eternal life.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.


A Message from the Principal

We are pleased to be offering Virtus training at Incarnation once again on Saturday, February 21. We are offering two sessions beginning at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Each sessions lasts approximately three hours. Please remember that Virtus training is mandatory for all volunteers working in the presence of minors.

Last Wednesday we dismissed at noon to work on our WASC assignments for our 2009-2010 visit. We will have another WASC day on Wednesday, February 18.

Please remember that while I am on jury duty, Mrs. Diana Girskis is the acting principal. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact her by calling the school office or emailing her at incafirst@gmail.com. I continue to check my email every evening during the week.

Have a blessed week!

Ms. Olivia Carrillo

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.
