Y esterday, March 1, was Ash Wednesday. This began a 40-day period when Christians all over the world remember their sinfulness, ask God's forgiveness, repent and recognize that God's forgiveness comes at an infinite price - the death of Jesus Christ on the cross on our behalf.

This year let's make it about something bigger, something beyond ourselves. This year we can put our relationship with Christ as our highest priority. Give generously; pray faithfully; and fast from something that has become too important in your life. In your sacrifice, Christ will meet you.

The second gathering of the Arma Dei Academy Faculty/Parent Book Club will take place TONIGHT, March 2, at 7:00 P.M.-8:30 P.M. in the Latin classroom.

Logic students are asked to bring a circular food. It can be anything from waffles to pizza to pie. There are four prizes awarded for memorization of the most digits of Pi, best tasting (can't be store bought), most circular, and most creative. 

Teachers and volunteers will be judges. It is a fun time when students find the circumference and area of the circular foods brought and get to celebrate Pi! 

Logic school students will participate in the National Latin Exam. 6th Grade students will take the "Intro to Latin" exam and both 7th and 8th Grade Students will take the "Latin Level One" exam.

Wish them luck!
