May we never exalt ourselves,
but humbly serve you and others.
We ask this through Jesus Christ
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Before coming to Incarnation, I worked at St. Stephen Martyr School in Monterey Park. At St. Stephen School, I taught kindergarten for several years and had the opportunity to meet Jaylon (Jay) Fong; Jay was in my kindergarten class of 2006. Jay was a bright young boy. He was always quiet in the classroom, taking his kindergarten studies quite seriously! On the playground, it was a joy to see him smile and laugh as he played with his classmates. Jay is now in third grade and is quite athletic, enjoying baseball and basketball.
On December 3, 2008, Jay was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. I went to visit Jay at the City of Hope over Christmas vacation and he was in great spirits, bravely fighting his battle. The Fong family is selling wristbands for Jay with proceeds going to benefit the City of Hope and to offset Jay’s medical expenses. Enclosed in this week’s messenger is a wristband order form. If you would like to support Jay’s journey to recovery, please complete the order form and turn it in to the school office. For more information about Jaylon, please visit www.jaylonfong.blogspot.com. Above all, Jaylon needs prayers! Please remember him and pray for Jay’s continued strength and recovery.
On behalf of the Fong family, thank you for your prayers and support.
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
In the home messenger, you will find your Scrip Profit Statement. It goes through March 9th. Hooray!! Many of you have surpassed the $200 profit goal and will be receiving a refund check from the business office shortly. Anything over $200, will be offered at the end of the year for a 50/50 split. MOST IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER....I'm a volunteer who will make mistakes (I know...it's hard for me to believe sometimes). If you see an error or have any questions, please see me ASAP. I'm here to help.
Another important point, if you notice you've not had any earnings from Ralphs or Escrip, perhaps its because you're not signed up. I can help with that. It will be an easy fix and soon you'll be bragging to all your fellow Inca Parents how you've earned $200 and then some.
All those participating are doing an excellent job. We're really making quite a bit of money for the school. I know if every family participates, we can make even more.
