Family Prayer
First Sunday of Lent
Worship the Lord your God.
- Today's reading from the Book of Deuteronomy reflects the central beliefs of the Israelites.
- The people offered a portion of the first harvest of the year to acknowledge that the land belonged to God.
- The recited creed was an expression of gratitude to God.
There is only one God.
- The passage from the Letter to the Romans stresses Paul’s belief that Jesus is Lord.
- Jesus trusted in God, his Father, and was raised from the dead.
- What we must do to share in that salvation is simply to believe in the risen Lord.
Jesus is led into the desert and tempted.
- In today’s Gospel passage, the Spirit drove Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
- Just as God led Israel out of Egypt, nourished them for forty years in the desert, and gave them the Promised Land, so God would care for Jesus during and after his forty days in the desert.
- Jesus passed the test because his trust in God never wavered.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Hello,
Basketball season has come to an end. Our players did a great job of competing and representing SJE this season. Our 7th grade boys team finished 9-6 after only winning two games in 5th grade. What an improvement! Our 6th grade girls finished 11-1 and in first place in their conference. Great job! Our 8th grade boys took first place and were undefeated, 12-0 in league play. Wow!
We also had players show outstanding dedication and perseverance on our other combined teams. Fifth grader Caleb, 6th grader Nathan, 7th grader Taylor, and 8th grader Lauren were the lone SJE representatives on their teams. A big shout out to the lone representatives. Without them some of these teams would not have had enough players to compete. Rose and Michaela were our only school representatives on the 6th grade championship team.

Our 12-0 8th grade team was combined with Divine Mercy.

Out of Uniform Days
Children with birthdays in March may celebrate by being out of uniform on Tuesday, March 15th. If your child has a February birthday, and didn't come out of uniform on the February date because we didn't publish it in our newsletter, we will allow those children to be out of uniform on March 15th as well.
Our next Dollar Jean day will be Friday, March 11th. NJHS has declared this "Hoodie Day". Proceeds will go toward the new playground.
As a reminder, here is what our Parent Handbook Dress Code states regarding out-of-uniform days:
In keeping with a desire for Christian modesty and respect, the following attire will be allowed for all out of uniform days:
● Jeans, pants, khakis, windpants, sweatpants, loose fitting cotton pants (no rips, holes or extremely worn material).
● T-shirts, short or long sleeved tops, sweatshirts or hooded sweatshirts - free of inappropriate wording/decals.
● Leggings, tights, capri pants, worn with a top the length of which must match the arms & fingers extended straight down at the side.
● Tennis shoes, fashion boots, cowboy boots.
