Message from the Principal

Dear St. Michael-St. Gabriel Families and Friends, 


This week we enter the fourth week of Lent, and in this Sunday’s Gospel, we see once again, how many still do not recognize Jesus and question his words and miraculous deeds. While the blind man seeks to learn more about the one who cured him, the Pharisees are quick to bring the man down and judge the act that has been done to him. Remember that we should not allow others to do the same to us. Instead, we must find ways to bring ourselves out of the darkness we find within our lives in an effort to bring ourselves into fuller communion with Jesus. Let’s stop for a moment and reflect on how we are doing with our Lenten promises, and if we have fallen away from those, let’s find a way to recommit ourselves to those these last few weeks. 


Monday is our March birthday celebration. Those students with a birthday in March may dress down and bring in a small treat to share with their classmates if they wish. 


As a reminder, we have just four days of school next week, and we will dismiss at 1:30 on Thursday. Spring Break begins on Friday, March 24th, and classes resume on April 3rd.  Our school office will be open over break from 8:30-1:30 each day if you have any registration paperwork to submit or payments to make. 



God Bless,

Mrs. Ramos



Queridas Familias y Amigos de San Miguel-San Gabriel,


Esta semana entraremos a la cuarta semana de Cuaresma, y en el evangelio del Domingo, vemos una vez más, cuantos todavía no reconocen a Jesus y cuestionan sus palabras y obras milagrosas. Mientras el ciego busca aprender más del que lo curó, los fariseos se apresuran a derribar al hombre y a juzgar sus acciones que han hecho. Recuerden que no debemos permitir que otros hagan eso con nosotros. En cambio debemos de encontrar más caminos en nuestras vidas dentro de la oscuridad para encontrarnos con nuestras vidas es un verdadero esfuerzo por llevarnos a una comunión más plena con Jesus. Paremos  por un momento para reflexionar en cómo estamos llevando la promesa de Cuaresma y si nos hemos apartado de ellas, busquemos una manera para volver a reconsiderar el comprometernos en ellas en estas últimas semanas.


El Lunes es nuestra celebración de Marzo. Todos esos estudiantes que cumplen en Marzo pueden venir sin uniforme y con un pequeño incentivo para compartir con sus compañeros de clase si desean.


Como recordaran, tenemos solo cuatro días de escuela la proxima semana, y la salida del Jueves será a la 1:30. Nuestras vacaciones de primavera inician el viernes, 24 de marzo y las clases se resumen el día 3 de abril. Nuestra oficina de la escuela estará abierta durante las vacaciones de 8:30 a 1:30 cada día si usted necesita entregar algún papel o hacer algún pago.


Dios los Bendiga,

La Sra. Ramos

PARENT VOLUNTEER HOURS

This year all families will be required to complete five volunteer hours during the course of the year. There are many ways to complete these hours by attending parent meetings and conferences, but additional opportunities are noted in the attachments found below. Remember that anyone who chooses to volunteer for an event where children are present must be Safe Parish trained. We recommend working on that training now so that you may be ready to help when you would like to chaperone or volunteer for an event.

8th Grade Trash Bag Sales

It’s that time of year when we know many of you are beginning to bag up your leaves and clean out your gardens. If you are interested in purchasing trash bags from the school office, we are selling rolls for $11 a piece. All proceeds go to fund the eighth grade class trip. An initial order form was sent home with all students this week, if you are interested in purchasing any.  We do sell these bags throughout the year as well, so you may consider purchasing some in the spring as well.
