Eucharistic Miracle of Scete, Egypt 3-5 Centuries

Calming Lord, I thank You for Your authority over the storms in my life. Help me to trust in Your presence during difficult times. May I find true peace in knowing that You are always with me, ready to bring calm to the chaos in my heart, mind, and life. Amen.

“We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become.” St. Clare of Assisi

Dear Parents,

The month of February is filled with many great opportunities to cheer on our school and celebrate. Between basketball tournaments and the new sports season starting, our athletics are in full swing. We also have the PSIA competition happening this Saturday and the One Act Play competition on February 15. Then, there is a Gala on February 22. There really is something for everyone this month!

Next week, teachers will be sending home the NWEA MAP scores on Friday. I will also be sharing summary data about the MAP scores in the e-newsletter next week. This information is intended to provide a snapshot of achievement and growth for your child and our school. The teachers will be analyzing the MAP data on Monday, February 17 during our professional development day. The data review will include looking at student achievement and growth, but it will also include time for the teacher teams to use the data to inform their instructional plans for the spring semester.

There are no classes scheduled for students on February 17. I hope you enjoy the three-day weekend with your family.

God Bless,

Erin Vu
