PIC(S) OF THE WEEK!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG, WE BID ADIEU TO TRIMESTER 2, EXPLORING ENERGY IN GRADE 7,

"YES WE CAN" &

THE ANGEL OF THE LORD DECLARED UNTO MARY!

While Spring has officially sprung, we are waiting patiently for the month of March to "go out like a lamb"! The inconsistency of the weather has been interesting this week with gorgeous sunshine, then chilly temps, added to the wind and rain...very much like a fierce lion.

In addition to the varied weather, this week also brought with it an all time student favorite... report card distribution! Our second trimester is officially behind us, and our students have demonstrated great growth and solid academic achievement. 

We have much to be proud of! Report cards were sent electronically this past Monday, March 21st. If for some reason you did not receive your child(ren)'s report(s), please check your spam folder, and then call the school office if still unable to locate.

This past week, our seventh graders demonstrated a great deal of excitement for energy! EXPLORE Station Labs had students experimenting with potential and kinetic energy...

and it was fun!

This week’s NJHS almsgiving opportunity has benefitted Damien’s Pantry in Wareham. Cans “rolled in” nicely (along with numerous other non-perishables) and the shelves at Damien’s will be well stocked due to the efforts and generosity of our school community.

Our Lenten prayer life was enhanced this week with an 8th grade representation at the annual Pro Life Mass celebrated by Bishop DaCunha at St. Julie's in Dartmouth and a school rosary while we "tuned in" to Pope Francis' consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary... Our Lady Queen of Peace, pray for us.



God Bless & Have a Great Weekend!

The continued support of our school community in our weekly efforts to be aware of the needs of others is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Our school families are beyond generous!

Damien's Pantry is going to be thrilled to do some restocking and the families that visit will be pleased as well! Yes, we CAN.... and we DID!

The Southcoast Humane Society is going to be next week's almsgiving project and the pooches and kitties will be thrilled!

Thank you for reinforcing the importance of almsgiving this Lenten season.

We continue to be blessed beyond measure!

The final week of Lent our almsgiving opportunity will be a can tab collection for

Ronald McDonald House!

Please consider sending small aluminum tabs from cans of soda/drinks to during the week of 4/ 11-4/14!

Ask your friends, neighbors and relatives to assist with this effort, as these tiny tabs serve as a form of currency for the RMH!

Our Call to Action

(even while we rest)

“Christ with me,

Christ before me,

Christ behind me,

Christ in me,

Christ beneath me,

Christ above me,

Christ on my right,

Christ on my left,

Christ when I lie down,

Christ when I sit down,

Christ when I arise,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.”

~ Saint Patrick
