Dear Parents,
What a phenomenal first few weeks we have had! There are wonderful things happening at our school, and we look forward to experiencing them with our students and their families. Thank you for giving your child the gift of a Catholic education and choosing CCCS!

Each month students learn a Bible Verse. We recite it together at school during our morning prayers. We also pray a particular prayer together for the duration of the month. During the month of September, our verse is
Proverbs 3:5
“
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Our prayer focus is the
Our Father
.
We would love for you to practice the verse with your children at home.

It’s Change for a Cure Week
|
|
Our annual
Change for a Cure
project to raise money for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation takes place this week. This is a charity that is near to our hearts, as we have two families in our school affected by this disease. Each day, students are asked to bring:
Monday - pennies
Tuesday - nickels
Wednesday - dimes
Thursday - quarters
Friday - dollars
Checks for this very worthy cause are also accepted. Thank you for your generosity!

Child and Adolescent Protection Policy Training

All adults who plan to volunteer in any capacity at Corpus Christi Catholic School or Parish must receive training in the Child and Adolescent Protection Policy-CAPP. We will offer CAPP training
tonight, September 10 at 6:00 pm
. The class will be held in the adult education room in the Community Center. If you are unable to attend the September 10th session, monthly sessions are held at St. Dominic Catholic School on the fourth Wednesday of each month. For parents who were trained in previous years, you must re-certify each year. You may go to
www.mobarch.org
to access the online training. You will have to read two short articles and pass a quiz. Once you have passed the quiz, the school will be notified that you have been retrained. The training must be completed by October, 31st. Remember, you must receive the CAPP training to attend a field trip with your child or volunteer in any way.

Our annual Blessing of the Animals, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, is
Tuesday, October 2.
The blessing will be held after the 8:15 School Mass. Parents of students in grades K-8 may bring pets to school and meet students in the parking lot around 9:00 as the students are leaving Mass. All animals must be in a cage or on a leash. Children may not bring animals to school with them, and no animals will be allowed to stay at school. All animals must go home after the blessing. If you are not able to bring your child's pet, children may choose to bring a picture of their pet. A special blessing will be offered for all pets, even those not present.
