May 2022 Cougar Chronicle |

Dear Parents,
Throughout the month of May, we remember Mary, the Mother of our Lord Jesus. She was a life-giving caregiver to our Savior, and she remains so for us today. She represents the fullness of holiness, for she was conceived without sin and assumed into heaven because of her special role in our salvation. She serves as an example for all of us to say, “yes” in practical ways to God’s Spirit of goodness. Your children turn to this beloved disciple of Christ for inspiration and for prayer each time we recite the Rosary.
Furthermore, during the month of May, we each day pray the Memorare. The Memorare is a prayer that reminds us that we have a wonderful advocate and protector in the mother of our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary. In our prayers to her we honor and worship her Son, who is more than happy to listen to His mother’s pleas on our behalf. The Memorare invites us to ask the Blessed Mother for her assistance and her grace, especially when we feel most troubled in our daily lives.
Keep in mind that when we pray to Mary we also pray through her to her Divine Son, Jesus! She is happy to pray for us and to intercede with Him on our behalf. You’ve probably asked a friend or colleague to pray for you sometimes. Why not ask the Blessed Mother as well? After all, in the Hail Mary we ask for her to “pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.”
Don’t be afraid to ask our Blessed Mother for her assistance (or to show her your love!) by praying the Memorare, the Rosary, or many other fine prayers and devotions to her. Please join us on Tuesday, May 24 at 1:00 for the Crowning of Mary. This is a beautiful opportunity for us to express our reverence for the dignity of Mary, the Mother of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace,
Mrs. Ann T. Sarpu

Golf Dress Down Day
We are excited that Fore the Children, the Corpus Christi School Golf Tournament, is rapidly approaching. The raffle portion of the tournament brings in a large portion of the money we raise for the school. To help us raise as much money as possible for our great school, we are holding a special dress down day on Wednesday, May 11. We ask that each family brings in a $10 gift card or a $10 donation so we can build amazing raffle prizes. Thank you in advance for your support of this year's tournament!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Spring has sprung and it is getting warmer. Please remember to have your child bring a water bottle into school every day so that they remain hydrated. Unfortunately, I have a limited supply of cups and I am no longer able to provide water to all the ones who have forgotten to bring a water bottle. We have 2 water bubblers in the school for use with water bottles.
Thank you

COVID Reminders
Please keep your children home if they are unwell. A cough, congestion, fever, sore throat, GI symptoms and headache are also signs of COVID and even though numbers are low it is still in the community.
Test your child for COVID if any of the above symptoms are present and let me know if you do. If the results are negative, send me a screenshot and your child can return to school in 24 hours as long as symptoms have improved and there is no fever for 24 hours. Otherwise please keep your child home for 5 days until symptoms improve. That way I am not sending your child home to be tested.
Please remember that quarantine guidelines still exist for unvaccinated individuals that travel to non US territories outside the US. If your child travels, they must quarantine for 5 days after travel and get tested prior to return to school.
I have test kits if you need them.
Thank you
