WEEKLY BULLETIN - SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
What makes a St. Louise Education Different
St. Louise School is different from the local public school down the street – and not just because we have continued since most of last year to hold full day, five days-a-week in-person schooling, unlike the public districts. The differences I want to point out are how as a Catholic school, we begin the day with prayer, we end the day with prayer, and we pray before lunch. Additionally, we have Religion as one of our main subjects taught during the day, we attend Mass as a school community, and we have crucifixes hanging in every classroom as reminders that Jesus is the reason for our school. Christ is the unseen but ever present teacher in our classrooms. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students. With all these actions and traits, it's obvious that a Catholic school is distinguished from a government-run school....

Optional Conference Day
Monday, October 11 is a noon-dismissal day for all students, so that we can provide an afternoon for teachers to set up optional conferences with select parents. This optional conference afternoon is for parents and teachers to meet if the parent’s child is struggling early in the school year in academics or social-emotional areas. Teachers will reach out to parents privately to set up a conference for this afternoon.

The Pastor's Message
As we begin the Faith Formation year this weekend and the youth-oriented (LifeTeen) Mass this Sunday at 5pm, I want to remind everyone of our top parish priority, to reflect upon this question: What difference does Jesus make in my life?
