Weekly Updates
Posted on March 3, 2017
Dear Parents:
It is nice to be back and settling back into the routine. I had fun visiting 5th grade yesterday, and watching their performance of the story (tall tales) of John Henry. I am constantly amazed by the amount (often hidden) talent among our students. The students cycled in and out of the performance and it was done with finesse and humor! 
We also have a very supportive community. Last weekend teen parishioner Jack Swanton led a team of workers in revitalizing our meditation garden. As an eagle scout project, he made flower beds, power-washed the benches and statues and re-laid the brick-work. Please stop by and take a look. This will be a wonderful spot for springtime prayer and meditation.

50/50 Raffle
We’ve only had a few students turn in their sold 50/50 raffle tickets and our pot is already at about $1,000. With every family’s help we can get this pot up to $20,000 and someone will walk away with a great cash prize. Don’t forget the student with the most sold tickets will win 2 tickets to Six Flags America! Send in what you have even if you’re not done selling so everyone can see how quickly our pot can grow. Reach out to Rachel Kramer rachelo.kramer@gmail.com if you need more tickets.

3rd Quarter Interims
Today marks the interim for the 3rd quarter. Paper interims will not be sent home. Please check the Parent Portal for updated information on your child’s grades.
With our changeable weather (!) we remind you to check temperatures and ensure that your students bring coats. As long as the wind chill is above freezing, the students do go outside for recess. Thank you for your attention to this.
Have a blessed weekend.
