Family Messenger, October 25, 2011

Loving God,
You sent your Son, Jesus, to teach us
how you want us to act in the world. Help us
to understand his teachings so that we can do your will.
Amen.

A Message from the Principal

I am pleased to announce that Accelerated Math (AM) will be returning to Incarnation! We have ordered the necessary materials, and the re-introduction of the program will take place in the next few weeks. The implementation will be different from what had been in place several years ago. AM will not be a requirement for all students. AM requires that students work independently. Since it is acceleration, material covered in individualized AM packets will not necessarily align with what is being taught in class. Participation will require that students are able to work with little to no assistance from the teacher; therefore math teachers will determine which students are ready for the program. More information will be forthcoming.

Sincerely,

Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Volunteer Hours for the Library

Mrs. Hihn has ordered lots of kindergarten books for the library. All of them need to be covered with contact paper to extend the life of the books. This is a job that can be done at home. Please contact Mrs. Hihn by email at nhihn@incaschool.org if you are interested in helping with this project. You will need to come into the library to receive directions, books, and materials.

Ink Cartridge Recycling

Please recycle your old ink cartridges with us! The collection bin is located just outside the main office.

Farewell, Rita

For over 20 years, Rita Guild has worked at the parish center as Parish Coordinator. She will be moving home to Minnesota next month. For her dedication, service, and stewardship, we thank her and wish her well. God bless!

From the Business Office

The October Statements and late fees were e-mailed this week. Please review and submit payment as soon as possible; contact Mrs. Fenton if you have any questions.

SCRIP Notes

Thanks to everyone ordering on-line! We will be going paperless soon, so when you get a chance log onto the SCRIP website and get familiar with the ordering process. Keep a copy of the On-Hand form available when you order to determine if your order includes a Special Order. Reminder: your order will not be submitted until the check is received by the SCRIP desk.

The SCRIP profit statements through September 30 are enclosed in today’s Home Messenger. Please note: profits from e-scrip are reported every six months; therefore, the totals on their website may not be the same totals on your statement. Ralphs reports on a quarterly basis and totals will also be different.

Question of the Week

We show our love for Jesus by loving our friends and family. Share one specific way you show your love.
