Family Messenger, November 22, 2011

Generous and loving God,
Our hearts overflow with gratitude as we celebrate
your unending goodness to us.
May we always remember who has given us
everything we can see or touch or hold, including our lives!
Amen.


A Message from the Principal

Thank you to all of our families for your generous support of the food drive for St. Columbkille. The principal of St. Columbkille, Ms. Rios, requested that I pass on their sincere gratitude for the donations. The donations they received helped them fill 100 Thanksgiving baskets for their school and parish families in need.

On behalf of the faculty and staff at Incarnation School, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Home Messenger Omissions

In last week’s home messenger, we omitted one of our sponsors, Chona Frias Yu, D.D.S. We are grateful for her support.

When the Academic Decathlon announcement was made, Javier S’s name was not printed. He will be representing Incarnation as an alternate.

We apologize for these errors.
