Dear Villa Families,
On Sunday we celebrated the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. We end Christmas Time with the celebration of this special feast. All four Gospel narratives include the baptism of Jesus, attesting to its importance in his life and the beginning of his ministry. Jesus' baptism became the model of a sacrament of initiation, in which we are all welcomed and invited into our role as part of the Kingdom of God.
Our annual K-6 Open House will be held on our campus on January 24. As I have said before, our current families are the greatest advocates for Villa Madonna Academy. If you know of a family interested in attending Villa, please suggest they register to meet the teachers on January 24 by contacting Mrs. Janet Baugh at jbaugh@villamadonna.net. We are grateful to you for promoting our school and bringing in the next generation of Vikings!
The Diocese updated the return to school document to reflect recent information from the CDC, etc. The information was shared on December 11. You can find the updated document here which includes the three quarantine options recommended by the CDC. Please note that if Covid is in the household, there are extended quarantine requirements. In addition, KY has a travel quarantine requirement at this time. Travel is highly discouraged. Anyone who travels is subject to quarantine. The KY state travel advisory information can be found here.
Next Monday we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This is a time for each of us to stop and consider what we can do to make our school, our community, our nation, and our world a kinder, more just place. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood up for peace and unity among all people. His work and his message inspire us to make a positive difference in the lives of others. What are you doing to make our world a more peaceful place?
Blessings,
Mrs. Soshana Bosley

Oh God, creator of the universe, You hold each of us in the palm of Your hand. Extend to each member of the Villa community an awareness of your presence, your healing, and your peace. Help us to love and respect one another, to develop our gifts to the best of our abilities, and to use those gifts in the service of others. Help us work together to grow into mature Christian people. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Your son, and our brother. Amen.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Kentucky United Nations Assembly
Sixth grade students are invited to participate in the Kentucky United Nations Assembly. KUNA will be online this year on March 8 and 9. Any students/parents interested in learning more, please contact Mrs. Holtzman (aholtzman@villamadonna.net). Since the conference is virtual this year, the time commitment required of students prior to the conference is a lot less. So, if you've ever wanted to learn more about KUNA, it is a great year to try it out.
