From the Desk of Dr. Molly Grumich
Principal
In the Midst of Winter
Lord:
In the midst of Winter, when the days are cold and wind can pierce
..... remind us of the warmth of your love.
In the midst of Winter, when days are short, dawn comes late, and dusk arrives early
..... remind us that in the darkness your light still shines.
In the midst of Winter, when the flowers of spring still lie hidden in the earth, when leaves are off the trees, and the world can seem bleak
..... remind us that Easter is but a short time away.
And when in our lives we feel as if we are experiencing a season of winter, reach out to us with the power of your resurrection so that we may feel the warmth of your love and see your light that alone can take away the darkness of our soul.
Amen.

FROM THE ATHLETIC OFFICE:

Always a Great Day to be A RED KNIGHT!
Lisa P. Orlet '87

This is a request for new or gently used blankets for EnergyCare, which was founded by Sr. Pat Kelley, CCVI, and an IWA alum of 1955. When she was murdered in 1987 two IWA juniors had the idea to do something in her honor and memory and began our annual blanket drive.
Over the years, thousands of persons have felt the "warmth" of Sr. Pat's care through the ongoing efforts of IWA students and their families.
We ask you to please help us continue this very needed service by sending or bringing new or gently used blankets to IWA between now & Feb. 28. Our students compete to be named the "Warmest Homeroom" for the day. If you have a problem delivering blankets to IWA, please call Sr. Eileen at
314 - 725 - 5850, ext. 1224.
WARM THANKS! God send you warmest blessings!
