Be Fair 
|
Did you know?
Lent is a time for spiritual and baptismal renewal through prayer,
fasting and alms giving. Rather than deprive yourself of something, how about providing yourself with spiritual enrichment this Lent? Commit to an extra Mass a week, read the bible every day, participate in a new daily prayer, walk the labyrinth, or participate in the school Stations of the Cross once a week.
Visit here for some prayer ideas or consider printing this
2017 Lent Calendar.
|
Check out our most recent newsletter for many resources of different prayer types and information from the prayer fair.
The labyrinth is available to walk in Fellowship Hall through Ash Wednesday.

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
This week, we will be entering into the season of Lent. Before we do so, we CELEBRATE! Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday - students may be out of uniform, wearing their purple, gold, and green! Mardi Gras beads are always encouraged. (Middle school will be on a field trip, so they are in BE Attitudes mission shirts and uniform bottoms). This is our last out-of-uniform day for a while as we don't plan out-of-uniform days during Lent.
The Evening Mardi Gras Celebration will take place tomorrow evening from 5:30 - 7:00. Please register to join us!
Wednesday is Ash Wednesday and we encourage all of our families to join us for 8:00am all-school Mass (7:00pm in the evening if you are unable to attend morning Mass). Each student has completed their "Sacred Struggle" card and will be using them to pray throughout Lent. We will have a variety of opportunities for service throughout Lent. Please pick and choose for your family as you see fit. You can read about a couple of them below.
Finally, Saturday, March 4th, our 8th grade boys basketball team will be playing in the first round of the Padre Serra Tournament at 8:00pm at Mount Mary University. Please come and cheer them on!
Blessings!
Ellen Knippel

The first graders designed a Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. First grade "temptations" like lying, not obeying our parents, fighting with friends, and bragging were written on the apples. The students began to reference the tree whenever they were tempted to "take an apple" like Adam and Eve. They then began to understand that when temptations arise we need to act in a way that pleases God.
Fifth grade performs skits for the younger grades to help them better understand what it means to be fair.

On Friday several of our 6th and 7th grade students participated in the 3rd Annual Catholic Memorial Propel STEM Challenge!
It was a day filled with energy, ideas, and collaboration as 171 middle school students from 16 different private and public schools came to CMH to participate in a challenge to test their science, technology, engineering, and math skills!
The students were broken up into 51 teams each mentored by a CMH engineering student (some were our alum) to build a marble rollercoaster for competitions.
Congratulations to one of our students, as her team finished in 2nd place! We are proud of our participants!
