Dear Saint Paul School Community,
Our first week as a mask optional school has gone very well. Students and teachers were very excited to “see” their classmates faces!
Thank you to Mrs. Deitsch and Grade 8 for planning a beautiful Ash Wednesday liturgy. During Lent we engage in three spiritual practices – prayer, penance, and almsgiving. As we embark on this journey, teachers have been creating lessons to learn about the time leading up to the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. There are many resources for families available on the Internet. I share one titled Teaching About and Celebrating Lent with Catholic Kids by Allie Johnston: https://www.sadlier.com/religion/blog/celebrating-the-liturgical-year-with-your-students-teaching-about-lent
We attend Mass because it's our loving response to the God who has loved us first. This is our time to praise God and thank Him for all that He has done for us. At Saint Paul School we are fortunate to have God, prayer and liturgy in our daily lives. As a school community we can do a better job and take liturgy as the time to strengthen our relationship with Jesus as it should be.
In school we will be working with the students to “tighten up” this gift of time with the Eucharist. We will be focusing on entering and remaining in silence, following along in the missal, responding, praying and singing; taking the sign of the peace seriously. We kindly ask that you hold until Mass has concluded to visit with your child(ren). We hope that as parents you join us in reinforcing the importance of the sacrifices Jesus made for us. Mass is Christ’s sacrifice made present again.
The FACTS SIS has been experiencing some glitches this week. One important feature is the availability for teachers to post lesson plans and homework. FACTS is aware of this issue and working to rectify it. This may take some time as their programmers are in the Ukraine. During this time, students will be required to write down their homework in their student planners.
The month of March can be long but at Saint Paul School we do what we can to make it FUN for our school community! Attached is a March calendar including activities and events.
There will be three “spirit days” where we will ask for a $1 donation from the students. Students should “earn” this dollar by doing a chore at home. All donations will be sent to the Catholic Relief Services to support Ukraine.
St. Patrick’s Day is quickly approaching and plans are underway for our Annual Liturgy and Show! This is where we need your help …. Are you available to participate in liturgy? We would love to have our parents lead us with the readings, psalm, prayers of the faithful, songs, and Eucharistic ministers. Please complete this short survey (closing on Tuesday, March 8 to volunteer in this special part of our school day.
Yes, you read that fist line correct, we are having our Annual St. Patrick’s Day Show (1 pm in the gymnasium) for our parents! Although we have not secured a music teacher, our wonderful supportive teachers have offered to work with their class on a song. You may even experience some special dancers. More information to follow.
TRAVELING … Domestic (out of state) and/or International … regardless of vaccination status please complete the following link. If your child is vaccinated, we must have proof on file in the Health Office: https://forms.gle/dcMNcWPBSdCfz4h38
Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious gift … your children!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Principal
Learning is an Adventure of a Lifetime!
