Principal Notes
Merry Christmas! I know it's a bit early but with Christmas break starting this week it's my only chance to tell all of our families that I wish them a joyful holiday filled with faith, family, love, and peace.
Have a very, merry, Christmas!
Love,
Jennifer
PS. Please do not save whole pews for the Christmas Worship Service. Saving a couple of spots is fine but it is not fair to save a whole pew. Also, all signs, coats, sweaters etc left in pews to hold them will be removed. Thank you for your cooperation.

Do you love to travel? Do you know the benefits of travel for students? Travel builds confidence and independence, broadens world-view, increases academic performance, and gives students a sense of perspective and appreciation for their place in the world. There is an opportunity for donors to support a St. Philip student on our annual 8th grade Washington DC trip! We are looking for D.C. Angels who are willing to sponsor a student for $1600 (the actual cost is closer to $2,100). We have several students whose families cannot afford the full cost of the trip and your support would mean the world to them. These students help to pay for the trip through fundraising, but a few need extra help. If you are interested, please contact Colleen Welsh, our Development Director at 626 795-9692 ext. 449 or email her at [email protected]g. Thank you so much for considering being an angel to one of our students.

Golf Squad at St Philip the Apostle is for both new and
continuing students
and provides weekly opportunities for your child to learn the technical swing mechanics (i.e. putting, chipping, full swing, etc.) as well as the social skills required to enjoy golf, the clubs, and golf course (i.e. vocabulary, etiquette, rules, history, etc.) all under the instruction of an LPGA or PGA Professional. Golf is a very challenging and fun sport that can lead to college scholarships. So start early and start now...boys and girls! Even if your child already plays, it is great to enjoy weekly, convenient lessons from the pro. (

problems to resolve, contact Amy Miller via email,
stphilipservicehours@
hotmail.com
.
2-As a reminder, the hours totals needed for the year (for regular hour plans) are:
30 school hours, 4 fest, 2 DDA, 4 parish
3-Overages for school events (DDA and FEST) WILL count toward school hours
but will remain in the event category.
**I get numerous questions about this. Please note this- your fall fest hours will remain under the fall fest category. Overages are calculated before billing.
4-Parish hours are separate and overages DO NOT roll over to school hours.
KNOW YOUR GUIDELINES! All service hours rules/info can be found on
the school website (NOT PORTAL). Log into the school website, the link is

Unconditional love is the best love you can give. It is the love Christ has for each one of us, demonstrated profoundly through His Passion, death and Resurrection; it is the love that gazes at us from the altar each day. Come to the mountain at Mater Dolorosa Passionist Retreat Center in Sierra Madre. With the women of St. Philip, experience the renewal of God's unconditional love as we reflect on the theme of "Be not anxious! Living in the peace of Christ," February 1-3, 2019. To reserve your spot simply go to:www.materdolorosa.org or contact Jean Bowler ([email protected] or 626-793-8953); Mary Fitzpatrick ([email protected] or 626-793-8555); Sheryl Valdez ([email protected] or 626-792-0220)
