Faithful God,
How patiently you guide and care for us.
Give us faith in your word, and hope in your steadfast love,
so that we will never lose heart.
Keep us mindful of your many blessings,
and help us to be a blessing to others.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Last week we received quite the surprise in the mail…an anonymous restricted donation for staff and technology in the amount of $25,000! May God bless the donors for their generosity to our school.
We are extremely grateful for this gift!
This Saturday the second graders and religious education students preparing for First Reconciliation will have their First Reconciliation Retreat. This retreat is an opportunity for the children to explore the sacrament and its meaning with a parent or adult. Please keep these students and their families in our prayers during this special time of preparation.
Blessings,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

Book Fair news from Mrs. Hihn
Looking for volunteer opportunities? Please help at the book fair! Right after Catholic Schools Week, we will be having our Spring Scholastic Book Fair from February 3-9, 2012. We are planning two special events during that week. On Tuesday morning, we will be hosting Donuts for Dads. On Wednesday morning, we will be hosting Muffins for Moms. The library has volunteer opportunities at the book fair during the hours we are open. We are also looking for parents to provide muffins for our special event. You can earn one service hour for contributing homemade muffins. Attached is a sign-up sheet for helping at the book fair. Please return sheets in your student’s folder. Looking forward to seeing you at our special events, after Mass on Sunday, and during the week!
