Holy Rosary School
Dear Holy Rosary School Families,
This year the Faculty and Staff have been talking about Growth Mindset. This is the idea that our abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. We have also shared this idea with
our students in the hope that we can begin to move away from a fixed mindset, or the idea that this is who I am and nothing I do will change it. We see fixed mindsets in statements like "I'm no good at Math" or "I will never be able to hit a ball like her" or even "I am just dumb." These are statements that can be detrimental to a child and we hope to support our students into understanding they can accomplish great things when they try. We want to hear statements like "if I keep trying, I know I can get it" or "I didn't understand it the first time but now I can!"
Here is a great image that shows 8 Practical Ways to Conquer Your Child's Math Anxiety:

Congratulations to all of the students who participated in the Summer Reading and had free dress today. We celebrated those students with a pancake breakfast this morning. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus who gave of the their time to come and cook for our students. Thank you also to the parents who helped work it.

Drop-off Policy
When dropping off or picking up it is very important that you do not block the driveway of the houses in the surrounding neighborhood. We have had a number of neighbors not be able to get out of their driveways due to this problem. Please be considerate of those around us.
Please do not make a left hand turn onto A street when leaving the parking lot by the Church. There is a sign posted instructing "No Left Hand Turns." This is a huge safety issue and backs up the drop-off line.
Thank you.

Thanks
Thanks to so many of you who, week after week, generously give you time and energy to serve others. I especially want to thank the following: Nancy Sanchez for decorating the church each week; Adela Madeiros for making curtains for the rectory kitchen; Virginia Noack for helping with a number of sewing needs for the Dominicans and the parish; Steve Ortega, Armando Pacheco and Joe Reano for building the new information kiosk;
Ramón Urbina, Raúl Padilla, Armando Pacheco and Joe Reano
for installing our video cameras and Tim Chavez, Eddie Bonifacio, and Kaua Young for helping us with our telephone, computer and internet needs.
Broken Window in Church
I am sure some of you have noticed that someone broke one of our big stained glass windows in the church a few weeks ago. We are going to have it fixed; however, we had to order the special glass and it would have cost several hundred dollars extra to ship it immediately. Instead we chose to wait a couple of months to have it shipped and avoid that extra cost.
The Purpose-Driven Church
Many are the plans of the human heart,
but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
(Proverbs
19: 21)
I have been reading a book entitled "The Purpose Driven Church" by Rick Warren. He is the well-known pastor of Saddleback Church, a Protestant megachurch in southern California. Even though I do not agree with everything in his book, I find a lot of what he says very useful and applicable to our Catholic faith and to our Parish of Holy Rosary. Here is a sample of what he says in the book:
"Every church is driven by something. There is a guiding force, a controlling assumption, a directing conviction behind everything that happens. It may be unspoken. It may be unknown to many. Most likely it's never been officially voted on. But it is there, influencing every aspect of the church's life.
What is the driving force behind your church?
"
