It is difficult for one newsletter to adequately describe the highlights of this current week.  While we always have a great deal going on, this week goes above and beyond another week, except the final week of school, in terms of activities.  The week started with an all school Mass  on Mondayto kick off Teens High On Life Week.  A fitting way to celebrate our faith and this week.  The unexpected and added bonus was was the highlight of the week, the baptism of one of our students.  Second grade student, Griffin Spafford, was baptized by Fr. George.  The entire k-8 student body served as witnesses to this sacrament.  We were all trilled to celebrate Griffin into our Catholic community.   This Sunday is the sacrament of First Communion for second grade.  The second grade practiced this week and had a fun and faith filled retreat.  The sixth grade traveled to the Field Museum in Chicago.  Eighth grade had a Junior Achievement day and performed Christian Service at Sunshine Communities.  The seventh grade's service was rained out, but they learned about their local ecosystem and the Maumee River with the Partners of Clean Streams. The seventh and eighth grade had guest speakers and inspirational talks.   Tonight they and their families gathered for a carb loading dinner and dodgeball game.  Tomorrow is the big race at  1 pm.  Everyone in our community is invited to run or come and cheer our students on in the race. 

Faith, Community and Christian Service. These are the words that best summarize this week.

Have a great weekend.  I hope to see many of you at the First Communion for our Second Grade.
