February 7, 2022

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal Dear Parents, We are just coming off of a very successful Catholic School’s Week! The week was filled with great activities…from Trivia contests, the all school religious figure scavenger hunt, adoration and an all school rosary, making Valentines for the nursing home residents, middle school Mass at Catholic Memorial High School, all school Mass, D.E.A.R. (Drop everything and read!), donuts and juice, classrooms decorated with their movie theme, and we can’t forget the daily dance party! Oh yes, and we did have academics in there too! Needless to say our faculty was pretty exhausted on Friday when they left school! I thank them for being such good sports and planning this great week! How blessed we are to celebrate who we are as a Catholic School! We continue on with a few things happening this week. Wednesday is our February Birthday Blessing. Students who are celebrating birthdays in February are invited to dress up on Wednesday (no jeans or sweats, please). They will receive a special blessing from Father at Mass. Everyone else should wear MISSION Shirts with uniform bottoms on Wednesday. Also, we again begin our "Souper Bowl", which team are you rooting for!? Students bring in cans of soup and place it in the end zone under their pick as this year Super Bowl champ! Thursday, February 10, we will once again have a parent coffee. We will meet in FELLOWSHIP Hall (enter through the church and head downstairs) at 7:30. This is an informal meet and greet with me and other parents. Stay for a few minutes or up to an hour. No classes on Friday, February 11. Teachers will be in an in-service session all day. Monday, February 14th is Valentine's Day. Students may dress in RED (or valentine finery). This is an out of uniform day. Some classes will be celebrating with a low-key gathering. Your child’s teacher will let you know of class plans. Blessings! Mrs. Ellen Knippel
