Holy Rosary School

Dear School Families,

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Wily Wonka Jr. The students performed for the entire school last Thursday and Friday and held three public performances as well. The students did a fantastic job and we are blessed with all of the talent here at Holy Rosary School. Thank you to Mrs. Geislinger and Miss Keenan who created the Holy Rosary Drama Club and directed the show. We also want to thank all of the parents who helped during the performances. Congratulations to all who were part of the show.


 

We would also like to congratulate the MUSE Band members who performed for the students during lunch on Monday, May 1st.  These students meet weekly for practice after school under the direction of Ms. Jenna Brace.



As you know, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We are very blessed with so many wonderful teachers at Holy Rosary. Our teachers give their time and talents to support the learning of each of the students. 
Almighty God,
We come to you today and give thanks for all our teachers. Thank you for the way in which they give of themselves each day in the classroom, serving and instructing the next generation of this land. We thank you for them all now.

Father, please fill their hearts with courage now by your mighty spirit. Fill them with your strength, os they may rise to every challenge and not grow weary. Fill them with your wisdom, so that they may be able to make good judgement when guiding and helping others. 

Fill them with your peace, so that when stress and anxiety comes it would overwhelm them. Fill them with your joy, so that the passion they have for their subject may become an infectious passion that spreads. 

We ask all this in the wonderful name of Jesus.

Amen


 Blessings,
 
Mr. Hooke

Dimalanta Family
Memorial Scholarship

Dear Holy Rosary Families,
     We are so blessed to offer the Dimalanta Family Memorial Scholarship for the third year.  This scholarship honors the legacy of my grandparents, Felipe and Brigida Dimalanta.  Through their example, they instilled in their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren the importance of faith, family and education.  It is with the sincere hope of continuing their legacy that we offer this scholarship to Holy Rosary students.
     This scholarship is open to incoming fourth through seventh graders who are enrolled at Holy Rosary for the 2017-2018 school year.  Applicants must have a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better.  There is no income requirement.

Submission details:
Minimum two pages single-spaced 
Submit to Sheila Chou via email
Deadline: Wednesday, May 24

Select one of the following topics.

ESSAY TOPIC 1:
     Some of the most memorable moments in life are connected to family. 
     Please share the most memorable moment you have experienced with your family. What made it special? How did it impact you? How does it reflect your family values? 
     Please remember that memorable moments can be large events or small, everyday occurrences. Sometimes the most meaningful experiences are simple and easy to overlook. 

ESSAY TOPIC 2:
     What is the strongest belief that you have? What specific events in your life led you to this belief? What positions directly conflict with this belief, and have you ever tried to see things from other peoples' perspectives?
     Does seeing things from other peoples' perspectives weaken your strongly-held belief in any way? Does it make your belief stronger?
     Why are beliefs important, and do you think they should ever change?
