Family Prayer
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
I will put my words into your mouth.
- In the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses conveys God's word to the people.
- The promise of God delivered by Moses is that God will raise up another prophet.
- The true prophet will deliver God's word.
I want you to be free of all worries.
- Some of the early Christian communities found Paul to be a true prophet.
- The Christians at Corinth apparently wrote to Paul, asking him a series of practical questions about how to live the Christian life.
- The First Letter to the Corinthians is Paul's answer to their questions.
He has authority over all creation.
- The Gospels reveal Jesus to be the true prophet, the one who not only brings the word of God but who is the Word of God.
- In the first chapter of the Gospel of Mark, there are several stories illustrating Jesus' authority.
- Today's passage tells of Jesus casting out a demon. The people are amazed because the demon obeys Jesus.

A Message from Mrs. Laidlaw Otto
Dear SJE Families,
January and February are two of the longest months of the school year! Our students, who are initially so enthusiastic about snow, become overwhelmed by the cold, dreary days and tired from dragging snow pants and boots back and forth from home to school. In light of this, the celebration of Catholic Schools week at the end of January is a shining light, and we take full advantage of it. Today’s Thursday folder page contains a link to the planned activities for next week. Please take a look at it. Although we are limited in what we can do by our Covid-19 restrictions, we still have plenty of fun planned for our students.
Communication directly from the classroom teacher will provide you with guidance regarding themed dress down days, class activities, etc.
We look forward to celebrating our school!
Together in God’s Name,
Mary Laidlaw Otto

Chromebook Sign-out Form
Last week’s Thursday envelope contained a paper copy of a Chromebook sign out form. Thank you to all families who have completed and returned this form. Please remember that families who do not have this form on file will not be allowed to check out a Chromebook in the event of a class quarantine. Many of our students have their own technology at home. If that is the case for your family, no completed form is required. The form has been uploaded to our website - you can find it here.

Valentine's Day Update
Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it! Celebrating with class parties is a bit more of a challenge this year, but we are already planning ahead. You will receive detailed instructions on class celebrations from your child’s homeroom teacher, but our general guidelines are these: For classes who will exchange Valentine cards, all completed cards must be sent to school no later than Thursday February 11th. The cards will be separated by student, and, after sitting for the weekend, will be enjoyed by their recipients on Monday at classroom celebrations. Many parents choose to send a pre-wrapped treat of some sort along with the Valentine. This is fine, as long as treats are in school on Thursday, for use on Monday.

Catholic Schools Week
Family Challenge
Each year, it has been a tradition at SJE to do a fun little family challenge. This year, it is to guess each teacher and staff member's favorite saint. You'll find the form in today's paper envelope and here on the website. Please make your guesses and return the form to the school office by Tuesday, February 2nd. Winners will be announced next week Thursday. You could be the lucky winner of a scrip certificate. Have fun! |

Registration information for the 2021-2022 school year will come home in next week’s Thursday folder. Please watch for this important information. Your prompt attention to this paperwork makes our job so much easier.
