A Message from the Principal
Marc Gellman wrote in his book, And God Cried, Too: A Kid's Book of Healing and Hope: "It's hard knowing that no matter what you do to make the world a better place, things will look almost exactly the same when you go to sleep as they looked when you woke up. What you need to do is think small. Focus on the one person you can help today. In fact, that's a good thing to think about every night before you go to sleep. Ask yourself before your eyes close, 'Did I do something that mattered to someone today?' ...
           "If you make a difference to just one person today, then you make a difference to the whole wide world. That is how the world changes -- one starfish, one person, one good deed at a time."
           Resolve to ask God each day this week for the name of one person you can help that day. What can you do to make a difference in that person's life? Then do that one thing, no matter how small.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."     ~2 Corinthians 1:3-4

National Day of Prayer
Thursday is the National Day of Prayer. If we were able to be together in our school building, we would be holding our all-school Prayer Walk tomorrow morning. Since we can't do it for our neighbors around St. John's, we are asking you to pray for YOUR neighbors as a family. Take the list (attached below) outside and pray the prayers at each corner around your block. If Thursday's weather doesn't allow for it, then consider doing it another day this week.  
Angel Comfort Dog
Angel is available for personal Zoom meetings if you, your child or someone else needs to spend some time with our Comfort Dog.
Please contact Mrs. Stapleton at k.stapleton @sjlagrange.com.
