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!
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

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).
