God of life,
May your life be our life,
filling us with strength and joy,

And hope in your mercy. Amen.
A Message from the Principal
On Saturday, the 8th grade class presented the “Because We Care” benefit concert with proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. The class has been fundraising for this cause over the course of the year after their classmate, Brittany Lanham, was diagnosed with leukemia. As Brittany and her family celebrate the end of chemotherapy, the class and special guest performers from Incarnation School put on a wonderful show! Thank you to all who supported the concert. The class raised over $4,000 – well beyond their $2,000 goal!
I also wish to congratulate the 2nd graders on their sacrament of Reconciliation. Some received the sacrament yesterday evening and others are looking forward to this Thursday. God bless you on this special occasion!
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo,Principal

A Message from the Principal
Dear Parents,
It is with mixed emotions that I write to inform you I will be leaving the position of principal of Incarnation School at the end of this academic year and will begin a new position as principal of another Catholic school closer to home. For the past five years, Incarnation has been a major part of my life and holds a special place in my heart. Although I will miss my work here, I look forward to the challenges this new position has to offer.
Incarnation is a strong community of faith and learning, and I have been blessed to work with our students and our dedicated faculty and staff. I am grateful for your support over the years and the opportunity to have served your children. I am proud of our students and I look forward to hearing great things about their accomplishments as they continue their education at Incarnation and beyond. I will keep all of you in my prayers and ask that you keep me in yours.
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

A Message from the Principal
We are about to enter into the Triduum, the holiest days of the year. They begin on the evening of Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper when we recall that Jesus gave his body and blood and taught us to care for others when he washed the disciples’ feet. They continue on Good Friday with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion as we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us. On the night of Holy Saturday, we celebrate the great Easter Vigil, when our Savior bursts out of the tomb, and on Easter Sunday we continue to celebrate the Resurrection with great joy. On these days, we remember the final events in Jesus’ earthly life. The following is Incarnation Church’s Holy Week schedule:
On Wednesday, the 8th grade class will present the living Stations of the Cross at 11:00 a.m. outdoors by the lunch benches. Parents are welcome to join us.
As we approach the Triduum, I pray that you have a blessed Holy Week and joyous Easter. May your Easter week be filled with peace and happiness.
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

Carpool Reminders
During morning drop off, please do not cross the parking lot with your children. For student safety, they are to be dropped off by the planters where carpool volunteers can assist as needed. Crossing the carpool line when parents are hurriedly dropping off their children poses a risk to students crossing, even if an adult is holding their hand.

Because of our inability to order SCRIP from our vendor due to their vacation this week and the school’s Easter vacation next week, we are experiencing a shortage or some SCRIP.
