Greetings,
This evening we are exciting to be holding our annual Wired to the Heart event. We are so elated to announce the event is SOLD OUT. This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we so grateful for tonight's opportunity. Now let's just hope the snow holds off or veers off course for safe travels for all of our guests! A big thank you to our Key Events Associate Ginger Leiferman and Wired to the Heart Co-Chairs Amy Orcutt and Susan Peller and all of our special and dedicated volunteers!
This week's Top 20 moment focuses on our Culture of Learning. We can help others feel safe by building trust. One way to do this is by having a culture of
honoring the absent
. This is one of our key Top 20 components where honoring that very special name of a friend, co-worker, or community member and not speaking negatively about them when they are not present. It is important for our students to know that when they are not around they are being respected and not being spoke of in a negative light. This will help build trust in our school community.
Honoring the absent
or not speaking negatively about others can be found throughout our bible. One simple Google search will yield numerous results!
Blessings on your weekend as we head into a short week next week!
Adam Bemmels,
PS-12 Principal

Be an ambassador for America and become a Host Family for a student from Buenos Aires, Argentina! Becoming a Host Family is easy, rewarding, and builds life-long friendships with folks all around the world. All you need to do is keep being a typical American family and provide room, board, and transportation to and from Loyola Catholic School (you'll receive a stipend to help offset costs). Students will be in Mankato from January 6 - February 9, 2019, and want to experience America and improve their English.
