Family Messenger, June 9, 2009

Lord,
We have spent this year listening closely to your words
and to the words of your prophets and saints.
May your law of love sink into us and rule us so
that in joy we will give our thankful hearts to you completely.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

A Message from the Principal
As we enter the summer months, it is important to remind students that learning does not stop. Research shows that independent reading, even as little as 20 minutes per day, will help students maintain or increase reading achievement. Learning can continue whether or not a child attends summer school. I want to thank you for all your help and support this year. All of us at Incarnation School wish you and your family the best for a healthy, happy, safe summer.

God Bless,

Ms. Olivia Carrillo
