From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Lent began this past week with a beautiful liturgy. Each of our students filled out the "Sacred Struggle" card and dropped it into the basket after receiving ashes at Mass. We will be praying for these intentions throughout Lent.
This year during Lent, there will be a variety of opportunities for your child to learn and participate in many different types of prayer such as Stations of the Cross (every Monday at 1:30, please join us if you are able), the Labyrinth, and Eucharistic Adoration to name a few. Every class will be participating in Lenten projects designed for their age level and understanding. Two all-school projects are the collection of peanut butter (the 4th graders are leading this project with a goal of 400 jars) and Tuna Tuesdays (collecting cans of tuna). Both of these collections will be going to the Hunger Task Force.
A Blessed Lent to All!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel

Fat Tuesday Thank YOU!
I love this community! Thank you to everyone who came to our Fat Tuesday celebration. My heart is filled with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who helped in so many ways, and it is a lot of people that made the evening a success. Bakers, shoppers, servers, carnival game makers, supervisors, greeters, photographer, and many hands made the evening come together. It is a joy to have celebrated this event with you, to take time to pause and mark the season beginning the next day. May you all have a blessed Lent! There are some candles by my desk if you forgot yours or had to leave before we got to the prayer. ~Angie

The 4th graders kicked off the Lenten season by making homemade pretzels which remind us to pray during Lent. Legend tells of a monk in the early 600s who twisted unleavened bread dough into the shape of arms crossed over one's shoulders as a prayer posture. These "bracellae", later called pretzels, were a reminder to early Christians to say their prayers.
The 4th graders also created prayer cards attached to individual bags of 40 pretzels, one for each day of Lent, for their K3 buddies.
