Dear Parents:
Lenten Prayer
Dear Jesus,
Help us through Lent and to keep our sacrifice. Help us to be
more like you during Lent, and when we fall, help us get back up and
keep going. You died for us to keep us free from sin. Help
us to do what you want us to do. Amen.

1. ACADEMIC
DECATHLON: This past Saturday our Academic Decathlon team
competed in the California Catholic School Academic Junior High
Decathlon. Our results were very exciting! Nativity School
received a medal for winning Third Place in the Super Quiz. In
the individual subject areas, Olivia Stone received Second Place in
Religion and Gabrielle Filloux received Second Place in Fine
Arts. Our Decathletes worked very hard and should be
congratulated for their hard work. We would like to thank all of
their coaches: Dr. McDonald, Mr. Hickam, Miss Myall, Miss Olcese,
Deacon Dominick Peloso and parents for their guidance. We would
also like to thank Ace of Sandwiches for providing lunch to the team on
Saturday.
