Almighty God,
Everything your Son did proved who he is.
Help us to believe in him more and more
so that we might help others on the path.
We ask this through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Tomorrow Incarnation School will sponsor the soup supper at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium. We are in need of soups! Please contact Doug Bennett at jugndune@earthlink.net if you are able to bring in soup for this dinner.
The Grail Theater of Britain performed Jesus of Nazareth for all of our students this morning. During this 45-minute program, the students witnessed important moments throughout the life of Jesus—his baptism, the temptation in the desert, the healing of a blind man, the raising of Lazarus, Pilate’s decision, and the crucifixion (symbolically) to name a few. This was a great show and can be nice discussion starter at home as we prepare for Holy Week.
Have a blessed week!
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Preschool News
Last Sunday after each Mass, parishioners were invited to attend the Open House at the Incarnation annex on Central. Visitors had the opportunity to see the completed rooms and the work-in-progress. Our preschool classrooms look fabulous thanks to our director, Mrs. Rosemarie Muscarella. Once we have our license, we will send out information regarding registration for our tentative grand opening in September. This Wednesday, we are having our first inspection to have the classrooms measured. This inspection will determine how many students we can accommodate in each classroom.
Thank you to all who have donated items for the preschool. We are still in need of gently used books that are appropriate for 3-5 year olds. If you have any books you would like to donate, please bring them to the school office.

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Target just sent the school a check for $148.98. Thank you to those families who helped contribute.
In your home messenger, there is an updated SPECIAL ORDER form and ON HAND ORDER form. The SPECIAL ORDER has many changes. ON HAND, we no longer will carry Longs Drugs (available on Special Order), but we will carry Rite Aid $25 (4% profit) and CVS $25 (6% profit). For Easter, we will carry ON HAND Honey Baked Ham $10 (12%). After Easter, this will become a Special Order again.
The company that we purchase the scrip from is closed April 6-14. If you would like to place a Special Order before we break for Easter, you must do it by April 2nd. If you need a large amount of On Hand Scrip, please try to let me know prior to April 2nd. Sunday sales will not happen on Sunday, April 12th, but will resume on April 19th.
Try to plan ahead for all your Easter needs and use Scrip. It benefits you and the school. For a limited time, we have Sees Candies for $15.00 (25% profit) a pound. In the store, a pound costs $15.60. You can use the $15.00 scrip for anything in the store and they will give you $15.60 in product. VERY SOON they are increasing our cost to $15.60 (23% profit). Be sure to take advantage of this savings.
Don't forget about your new Easter shoes or outfit. There are many options available. I think the Easter Bunny himself could find something from our list.

A Message from the Principal
Before coming to Incarnation, I worked at St. Stephen Martyr School in Monterey Park. At St. Stephen School, I taught kindergarten for several years and had the opportunity to meet Jaylon (Jay) Fong; Jay was in my kindergarten class of 2006. Jay was a bright young boy. He was always quiet in the classroom, taking his kindergarten studies quite seriously! On the playground, it was a joy to see him smile and laugh as he played with his classmates. Jay is now in third grade and is quite athletic, enjoying baseball and basketball.
On December 3, 2008, Jay was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. I went to visit Jay at the City of Hope over Christmas vacation and he was in great spirits, bravely fighting his battle. The Fong family is selling wristbands for Jay with proceeds going to benefit the City of Hope and to offset Jay’s medical expenses. Enclosed in this week’s messenger is a wristband order form. If you would like to support Jay’s journey to recovery, please complete the order form and turn it in to the school office. For more information about Jaylon, please visit www.jaylonfong.blogspot.com. Above all, Jaylon needs prayers! Please remember him and pray for Jay’s continued strength and recovery.
On behalf of the Fong family, thank you for your prayers and support.

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
In the home messenger, you will find your Scrip Profit Statement. It goes through March 9th. Hooray!! Many of you have surpassed the $200 profit goal and will be receiving a refund check from the business office shortly. Anything over $200, will be offered at the end of the year for a 50/50 split. MOST IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER....I'm a volunteer who will make mistakes (I know...it's hard for me to believe sometimes). If you see an error or have any questions, please see me ASAP. I'm here to help.
Another important point, if you notice you've not had any earnings from Ralphs or Escrip, perhaps its because you're not signed up. I can help with that. It will be an easy fix and soon you'll be bragging to all your fellow Inca Parents how you've earned $200 and then some.
All those participating are doing an excellent job. We're really making quite a bit of money for the school. I know if every family participates, we can make even more.

Merciful and loving Father,
Just as the warmth from a candle rises up to heaven,
Receive and bless our Lenten prayers.
In our Lenten fast, may our hearts be open and ready
to be filled with your love.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Lent is a season of turning to God in simplicity and sincerity as we prepare to celebrate the joy of Easter. Life so easily carries us away that we get distracted from our relationship with Jesus. Lent is the time we try with all our hearts to turn back to God through repentance. We also come closer to God by spending more time praying, by fasting, and by giving alms. Many of us make sacrifices during Lent to make our hearts, souls, and minds full with love for God and for our neighbors. All of our work during Lent leads us to Easter, when we will join in celebrating the Resurrection. Students will participate in an all school mass tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. led by the eighth grade class.
Please pray for the second grade class and the Incarnation Religious Education students who will be receiving the sacrament of reconciliation this evening.
God Bless,

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Did you know? If each of our 200 school families purchased scrip to buy gas at approximately $150 per month, we would earn $600 in profit a month or $7,200 per year. All courtesy of Arco/Chevron/Shell. It's that simple.
Electrical Upgrade Update
The design for the update of our electrical infrastructure is approximately 75 – 85% complete. We expect it to be finalized within the next two weeks. Once the design is complete, we will be getting more accurate cost estimates.
Just as the warmth from a candle rises up to heaven,
Receive and bless our Lenten prayers.
In our Lenten fast, may our hearts be open and ready

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Did I mention that we have great Valentine's Day Options? Show the love and stop by the scrip table or send in your order with your child. If you're thinking of getting something for your teachers, we have many $10 options; Borders, Blockbuster, Burger King, CPK, Carl's Jr., Claires, El Pollo Loco, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, and Subway. Don't forget your kids. A trip to the movies (AMC) or Chuck E. Cheese would be a blast. We also have many options for that special someone in your life; Macy's, Bath and Body Works, Gap/Banana Republic, Best Buy...just to name a few.
In the Eucharist, you give us the food of eternal life.
When we eat the Body of Christ and drink his blood,
make us worthy to receive the gift of eternal life.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
We are pleased to be offering Virtus training at Incarnation once again on Saturday, February 21. We are offering two sessions beginning at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Each sessions lasts approximately three hours. Please remember that Virtus training is mandatory for all volunteers working in the presence of minors.
Last Wednesday we dismissed at noon to work on our WASC assignments for our 2009-2010 visit. We will have another WASC day on Wednesday, February 18.
Please remember that while I am on jury duty, Mrs. Diana Girskis is the acting principal. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact her by calling the school office or emailing her at incafirst@gmail.com. I continue to check my email every evening during the week.
Have a blessed week!

Family Messenger, February 3, 2009
God of heaven and earth,
You breathed your holy breath
into us so that we might have life.
Send your Spirit to breathe on us again
so that we may live more fully
as your own sons and daughters.
We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
It was a joy to see the large crowd coming to spend the morning with our students last Friday. Each class prepared a special performance for their grandparents and special friends. The Mass was beautifully prepared, and I hope that all of our visitors enjoyed their day. Pictures of the event are posted on our website.
In this week’s envelope, you will find the re-registration packet for current students and new siblings. The re-registration period is from February 4 through March 1. Please be sure to submit your forms to guarantee a space in your child’s class. All balances must be current in order to be able to officially register for the 2009-2010 school year. Since we are receiving many applications for new students, we would like to be able to notify our new applicants of their status in early March. Any re-registration forms received after March 1 will be considered along with the new student applications, and a space in the class cannot be guaranteed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the school office.
Thank you and have a blessed week!
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Scrip Tip from Jennifer Bunt
Good news, Best Buy has increased the percentage to 3% and Whole Foods is back in stock.
Valentines Day is just around the corner. When thinking of what to do with your Valentine, don't forget to purchase scrip. AMC movie tickets can be used at the 3 theaters in Burbank with dinner afterwards at California Pizza Kitchen, Islands, or PF Changs (all with scrip of course). If you are registered with eScrip, Chadaka Thai is my favorite thai in the area and they contribute to eScrip (Yum...I hope my Valentine is reading this--wink, wink).
