The fourth graders did a STEM activity to save a gummy worm from the top of a capsized boat, putting a life preserver (life saver) on him, all using paperclips and not their hands directly.

Principal Notes March 23, 2017
|
|
Dear Families,
Today we are at the midpoint of Lent. Everyday Dr. Kathleen Cepelka, our Superintendent of Catholic Schools, sends the principals a Lenten reflection. I thought I would share one with you.
"Peter approached Jesus and asked Him,
"Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?"
Jesus answered, 'Not seven times, but seventy times seven times.'"
Matthew 18: 21 - 22
What can be harder than letting go of a grudge, an experience of diminishment, or
a personal injustice -- perceived or real? Hardly a day passes, with students, parents, or co-workers,
when we're not tempted to remember and revive past wrongs. We pray today for hearts
of limitless forgiveness and memories that do not linger over hurts. We pray to see our own hearts and the hearts of others with God's eyes.
The event we all have been waiting for is finally here, the 2017 Night of PROMise is Saturday night. The gym will be transformed back in time to your high school prom. You have been so generous with your contributions. Please go to the website and start bidding on your favorite items today. It will be a wonderful evening!

Spring Concert
The Spring Concert is
Wednesday May 17th
@
6:30 p.m.
This concert is required for all students in K4-8th grade. The theme this year is "music from movies." Students should dress "red carpet" or "Hollywood." They may wear anything that might look like a movie star but please make sure both the clothes and shoes that they wear are safe for the risers. More details about the concert will be sent home after Easter break. We are looking forward to a great concert!
Looking for Parent Volunteers:
I am looking for a few volunteers that would be willing to help make/decorate for the Spring Concert. The decorations can be very simple and would not require a lot of time. The theme this year is "music from movies." Please email Mrs. Dubinski (tdubinski@stmaryeg.org) if interested. Thank you so much!!
Chess
Is your child interested in playing chess? We have added a spring session, beginning March 31st through June 2nd, 2:45-3:45 on Fridays. Please click on this

Adoration Chapel
Jesus asked His Disciples, "Could you not watch one hour with me?" We are all disciples of Christ. Could you not watch one hour with Him in the St. Mary's Perpetual Adoration Chapel? We are in great need of help:
4-5 am " "
Thursdays
5-6 am
" "
(Mar.-May) 8-9 am " "
9-10 am
" "
Consider forming a group of 4 or 5 parents (for instance from 1 or 2 grades) and sign up to cover one of these hours. Each parent would then only have to go once a month. Discover what blessings this would bring to you, your family, and our parish! The rewards are everlasting!
