Compassion---Blessed Virgin Mary---Volunteer Week A
|
|
Dear St. Isidore Families,
Our gospel value for the month of May is
COMPASSION.
At St. Isidore’s, we work hard to create a compassionate environment for students both in and outside the classroom. We actively discuss situations and opportunities where compassion can be shown. Compassion is incorporated into school lessons through religion and other subjects. This year, the Fourth Grade class read the book and saw the movie
Wonder
. The story is an excellent example of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and showing kindness to those who need it most.
STUDENT OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to our new Students of the Month for May, Joaquin Thiers (first grade, Mrs. Hutchinson’s class) and John Rathbun (eighth grade, Mrs. Torretta’s class). Faculty and staff nominate and vote on students based on the monthly Gospel Values. May’s value is “Compassion.” Joaquin’s teacher says he is nice and helpful. He always does his best and looks for the opportunity to show kindness. John’s teacher says he is friendly, willing to help, cheerful and hardworking. We celebrate you both.
THANK YOU TO OUR 2017–2018 SPONSORS
On behalf of the school, I would like to thank our Sponsors. Your generous donations have a dramatic impact on the school’s vision, ensuring we can continue to give our students the best education possible. This year through sponsorship we raised approximately $100,000. These donated sponsorship dollars go right towards what matters—academic excellence in Catholic education. Thank you again for helping make this school year such a success!
