Please join school Principal Jeff Matthews for the 2nd Quarter “Java With Jeff” on Wednesday, November 4th. This will be a virtual “Lunch & Learn” session (via Zoom) from 11:30AM to 12:30PM. The topic for this quarterly meeting is “Assessment and Grading: Effective Feedback for Learning” one of our Four Pillars of Improvement. There is no need to register to attend, the link will be sent out to all parents earlier that day, and the meeting will also be recorded and shared in the Insider on Friday, November 6th).

November 2nd-6th is National Vocation Awareness Week. Priests, Deacons, Sisters, missionaries and married couples will be sharing their vocation stories with 1st-8th grade. We are very lucky to have such a diverse group of speakers willing to share their vocation story with our students (via Zoom).

The annual 8th Grade Powder Puff game will be played next Friday, November 6th at 2PM. The 8th grade girls are split into two teams and play each other in flag football, while the 8th grade boys are split into cheering sections for each team. 8th Grade parents are allowed and encouraged to attend this game held on the school field. Please keep attendance to 8th grade parents only – no siblings, grandparents, or extended family please. Please enter the school field from the field gates. Traditionally we would have most of the students of the school outside watching - however for social distancing purposes - this year we are only allowing 6th & 7th grade students to watch the game. The game will be live streamed into the classrooms for the other students to watch.

This year's Powder Puff game benefits the Houston Center for Literacy.  Houston Center for Literacy is grateful to receive any donation of resources, such as books and classroom supplies. These resources are distributed to member organizations of the Coalition for Literacy and help to support literacy efforts throughout the Houston area. Students are not required to bring items to donate, but are encouraged to participate and help the 8th graders in assisting this worthy charity.

We celebrated Digital Citizenship Week at St. Cecilia last week. We expect our students to practice safe, responsible and respectful behavior when using technology. We watched this video during last week's Wednesday Assembly about being kind online. As we celebrated Digital Citizenship Week at St. Cecilia we reminded students that God has given them a conscience to guide them in making good choices and being compassionate and kind online.
