A Note from Mrs. Ryan    
Dear Parents,

Pokémon games have been around for many years and their popularity seems to ebb and flow. At St. Rose there is currently a resurgence of interest in them. Although there is nothing wrong with the game or with collecting cards, the cards become problematic at school since they are very distracting. In addition, trading the cards can cause great upset on the part of the child and if a valuable card is lost, traded, or misplaced. For this reason, students will not be allowed to bring them to school at all. Our YMCA aftercare program is in the process of acquiring sets of cards that children can play with after school. They will be clearly marked as property of the Y and used only at the Y after school. Please help us insure that your child does not bring his or her own Pokémon cards to school.
 
On Friday, which is a non-student day, our teachers will be attending a diocesan religious education in-service. This year there are some very interesting topics and nationally known speakers. One of the speakers, Kendra Tierney, is also offering an evening session for parents entitled "Liturgical Living for Busy Parents". Kendra is the mother of ten children and, in addition to her blog, has also written a book for parents about kid-friendly ways to weave Catholic faith and culture into our daily family lives.
 
The session will take place at the Cardinal Newman High School gym on Friday, September 27 th from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. All parents are welcome to attend this complimentary session.
