Four More Host Families Needed for French Exchange
Next month students from Institution Saint Joseph in Le Havre, France will come to Columbus for two weeks in mid February 2018 (
February 17 - March 2, subject to adjustment).
We are in need of families who would be willing to host a student in their home during their visit. There is no fee associated with hosting a French Exchange student; all that needs to be provided is a place to stay, meals with your family and a sack lunch on most days. The Exchange students will report each day to DeSales.
Please contact SFD French teacher Mrs. Heather Evans at evans@desales.co by January 30th if you are interested in hosting a student. Merci!

Daily Reflection
Loving God, throughout the day today, help me to look at things a little differently. Yes, there will be violence in the world; help me to focus on being more gentle. The weather will bring hardship to many; help me to accomplish what I need to do without complaint. The poor and homeless will remain; help me to make room in my heart for anyone I have shunned. People will suffer misfortune today; help me to notice blessings I sometimes take for granted. I may find myself feeling pretty good or feeling downcast today; help me to look to You with greater faith, no matter what. Amen.
