February 22, 2021

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal Dear Parents, Happy Lent! We can count on Spring being right around the corner when we begin the season of Lent. Our school community provides many opportunities for our students to grow spiritually during this beautiful season. As always, these are strictly opportunities for you and your families. Please do what you wish or what you are ABLE to do as a family. Hygiene bags for the House of Peace (these came home today): There is a list of items on the outside of the bag that are needed. You don’t have to complete the entire list! You can put one or more items (either the same items or a variety of needs) inside the bag and return them by March 26th. Rice Bowls: This is something that we do collectively, as a parish. The students have heard a great deal about the children in Ethiopia that will be fed by the money collected in our Rice Bowls. These will be returned to Church (more information on the date will be coming). As an aside note, we are going to be working on less waste in our lunchroom… Stay tuned! Tuna Tuesday!: We will again be collecting tuna during Lent. The tuna collected will be given to the Pewaukee Food Pantry. Tuna is a fantastic source of protein for families. Students can bring in tuna and place it by the wall near 4K. Watch for sales! We will collect this all Lent and deliver on March 27th to the food pantry. Additionally, we will be providing many prayer experiences for your child here at school during Lent. Each class has decorated their door to depict one of the Stations of the Cross. The students will pray, as a class, these stations weekly. The stations turned out beautifully! I’m so proud of the Student/Teacher efforts. (Due to Covid restrictions, we are unable to be in church as an entire school to pray the stations this year.) The teachers all have a variety of resources to use with the appropriate age levels for a variety of prayer experiences. The Labyrinth will be set up for students to use this method of prayer. Don’t forget IGNITE: a family adoration experience will take place on Tuesday, February 23rd at 6:00pm in church! Whew! Lent will be over before we know it! Blessings,  Mrs. Ellen Knippel
