Lord God,
In this Lenten season of growth
teach us humility and help our love to grow.
May our faith grow stronger
and our selfishness weaker.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Congratulations to our Academic Decathlon team! On Saturday, the team competed with 102 other Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and brought home the following individual awards:
- Religion – Carra L, 1st place
- English – Marcus C C, 6th place
- Current Events – Michael C, 6th place
- Math – Golddy S, 8th place
- Fine Arts – Matteo M, 2nd place
- Literature – August O, 2nd place
Incarnation placed 1st in Logic, and 8th overall!! We are very proud of you!
We give one more heartfelt thank you to our head coaches - Tim and Sandy Chan, our logic coach - Damon O’Beirne, and all other parents who supported the team by assisting with coaching or writing test questions. We appreciate all the time you gave so that our school could continue to be represented well at this event. THANK YOU!!
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the first day of the holy season of Lent. During Lent, we pay special attention to our relationship with God. Each year on Ash Wednesday, we receive a cross of ashes on our foreheads as a sign of sorrow for our sins. We set aside these 40 days for prayer, fasting, and doing good things for others. In this way we prepare for Easter, that greatest feast in the Church, when we celebrate Jesus’ rising from the dead. There will be an all-school Ash Wednesday Mass tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

If you mistakenly threw your card away please ask the office for another copy, or Mrs. Cuevas also will have some available when the students go to art. If your student had art on Monday they may be bringing a card home which will need information & family photo included.
Please submit provided card by this WED March 9th in an envelope with your student/students names & grade levels to home room teacher.
