WE'RE BAAAAACK & HIT THE GROUND RUNNING...
WIZARD OF OZ WHIRLWIND,
PRAYING FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOUL OF
POPE EMERITUS BENEDICT XVI,
& EPIPHANY JOY!
Happy New Year! It was so wonderful to welcome back our faculty and students this past week! Rested, rejuvenated, and ready to return, the school hallways were buzzing with the energy that resulted from the expression of welcome backs, Happy New Years and sharing of vacation highlights. It was so wonderful to reunite our school community and feel the JOY that is still present during these final days of Christmas!
As you can imagine, our performance of The Wizard of Oz has become a whirlwind of activity. Costumes, sets, lights and almost time for action! Please consider joining us for this unbelievably professional caliber of performance... it is sure to be outstanding!
A visit from Father Ryan took place in most classes this week, as he shared a few words about the life of Pope Benedict XVI and prayed for the repose of his soul. Students were given prayer cards to take home in their Friday folders today to remember this great Holy Father of the Church.
O Come Let Us Adore Him! Today marks the Feast of the Epiphany and we certainly celebrated the arrival of the three kings in Bethlehem. Our day began with Holy Mass, and Father spoke to us about the Magi and how brave and adventurous they were to follow the star to locate the Christ Child. Father stated that we, too, must have those same qualities to follow the star, which is God's will for our lives! It takes great courage to be a Christian! Thank you Father for celebrating Mass for us, and thank you Mrs. Girouard for providing such wonderful music for us....we are so blessed.
Mrs. Jason, Mrs. Martel and Mrs. Larkin provided some Christmas excitement with Epiphany Guessing Jars and the naming of the Kings and Queens of the classes! Students submitted their guesses yesterday for either the jar of "Star"burst or the "Gold"en coins and winners were announced. Kings and Queens of each class received a Golden Ticket to choose the color for their class for Monday's Epiphany Dress Down Day! Make sure to ask your child(ren) what color was chosen by the royalty to be worn on Monday! For the youngest members of the school community, a portion of the day was spent with Three Wisewonders searching for the Baby Jesus and offering Him gifts.
As we jump right back into academics, our feet will hit the ground running with our Winter MAP Growth Testing session that will begin next week.
