| Dear Parents: |
|
Lenten Prayer
Dear Lord,
Lent is a time of penance, a time to believe, to grow closer, a time
to achieve. There will be temptations to face, obstacles to
overcome, maybe extra chores to do, but you will feel proud when you
are done. Lent is when we imitate Jesus always in many different
ways. We may give up sweets or read the bible, and will continue
to for forty days. We remember His challenges, learn from His
experiences, believe in His miracles and express our five senses.
Lent will prepare us, make us all aware, show us what we are capable
of, and teach us to be fair. Amen.

GIFTS OF THE HEART FOR HAITI: Student
Council would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Nativity
Haitian relief effort. Through the sport's snack bar, bake sale,
and
classroom collections, we were able to forward a little over $2,400.00
to Catholic Relief Services, helping the very needy survivors of the
Haitian earthquake. Thank you
to everyone for answering the call of those in need. God Bless you! |
