All School Advent Retreat Service Projects
Tuesday, 12/3/19
When we return from the Thanksgiving break, our students will be participating in an
all-school Advent Retreat on Tuesday, December 3rd. Retreats are a great way for us to strengthen our Catholic faith and provide service to others. Our Advent retreat this year will include Mass, reconciliation for children in grades 3-8, Advent activities, prayer, music and service projects. Service to others reminds us of one way to prepare for the coming of the Lord. The two service projects we have planned are the Uhuru Watoto Project and the Homeless Care Package Project.
Please support our Care Package Project by sending in toiletry items and new socks on Monday, December 2

Mark 10:21
“Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Educator Pages
Starting Trimester 2, middle school homework and assessments will be posted in Educator Pages, not in RenWeb. We were hoping to integrate Renweb as our Learning Management System (LMS); however, at this time there are some weaknesses within their platform. We believe Educator Pages is a more effective means of communication for our school to post homework and assessment information.

The internet has drastically changed the way children interact with the world. The use of cell phones among tweens and teenagers has jumped considerably. Technology is not without risks and parents are encouraged to monitor their child’s devices.
