Talking With Mrs. Tompkins
|
Welcome Back Students!
Today we conclude our first week of school. Our entire staff here at Delone Catholic has been humbled by the outpouring of support we received this week. The students, teachers and staff adapted beautifully to the new standards that have been enacted to keep our school community safe. We had great participation from families (99.5 percent!) completing screenings on their students. Your cooperation and communication is critical to our success. Today will be a Freedom Friday. Students have earned a free Dress Down Day, thanks to all of the families that screened their students each morning. Tomorrow will count towards next week's totals. Please refer to page 53 of the School Handbook for the Dress Down Day Dress Code Policy.
Please continue to perform the daily screenings so we can earn another Freedom Friday next week.
I would like to leave you with this short prayer that I found very inspiring.
Have a lovely weekend, and May God Bless You,
Donna Tompkins Interim Principal
As the Sun Rises
As the sun rises, may Your love rise in my heart. A love that dispels tiredness. A love that overcomes difficulty. A love that builds relationship. A love that inspires diligence. A love that delivers excellence. A love that develops trust. A love that produces praise. Lord, may I live in the light of Your love.
Amen.

Information From the Township of Conewago: Water Main
|
During the summer, we had a water main break in front of the school that resulted in all water being shut off for 48 hours. A representative from the water company has informed us that there is the potential for another break. If this was to occur, the company would turn off water to the school, and we would have to close for the day. School closings/delays are communicated though emails, phone calls and texts from our AP Notify system. If you are not receiving communications from AP Notify (and would like to) please email Mrs. Jennifer Hart with the proper contact information. We would also use local radio and TV stations to announce a closure. In the event of a closure due to a water main break, we would utilize a Virtual Day for all students. Teachers would be in contact with their classes to advise them of what their virtual class will be.

From the Spiritual Life Office

You have all been in my prayers since our abrupt departure last semester, and I'm happy we can get back together again!
I want highlight a couple of items for you: 1. Everyone will attend mass in person once a month. We are unable to have mass with the entire school at once, so we will have a mass every Thursday at which assigned classes will be able to attend. Mass tomorrow, the first day of school, will be streamed live to Delone's Facebook page. We will only require attendance on streaming this one time for those who are in school. For those who are virtual learners, we will continue to stream live so you can follow along in prayer with your class. A Facebook account is not required to view, just press 'skip' when it asks you to sign in or sign up. 2. The Chapel is open all day, and you are free to come any time. Please follow cleaning procedures as in classrooms, also use the sign-in/out sheet in the back of the Chapel. If you want to use any of the reading materials or holy water bottles in the chapel, take them with you, do not leave them behind in the chapel. Once you touch an item, it's yours (Merry Christmas!). 3. I am available in the back of the Chapel, in the sacristy, for confessions on Thursdays in the morning when the doors open till first period, during lunches (when I'm not at mass or at lunch), and after dismissal. If you want to talk or go to confession at any time, you can shoot me an email, and we'll easily work something out. 4. The only thing significantly different from last year is that you will no longer have the opportunity to attend mass weekly. The lunchtime mass is now only available to those who are assigned on that particular day. You will still attend mass once per month. If you have any questions or need anything from me, never hesitate to email me. God bless you all, Fr. Morelli

SportsLeader Virtue of the Week
|
One pillar of the SportsLeader program is a weekly virtue that we incorporate into our athletic practices and throughout our school community. Every week, we will share them here to encourage the students to take the virtue into their homes as well!
Our virtue this week is VISION - The strength to plan and prepare with imagination, creativity and wisdom. Anything great that we want to achieve in life takes a vision. What is our VISION for this year? What do we want to achieve together?
