Family Prayer
Baptism of the Lord
God upholds his servant, a light for all nations.
- The first reading from Isaiah sings of God’s servant, being upheld by the Spirit.
- God has formed us and we belong to God.
- We are sent to heal and set free.
Jesus is the savior of all nations.
- Anyone called by God is acceptable to Christ.
- Jesus was anointed by the Spirit.
Jesus is baptized.
- The heavens were opened and God spoke.
- Jesus invited John to baptism him in order to fulfill all that God demanded.
- This is my Son, God said, My favor rests on him.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Hello,
Happy New Year! The students returned from Christmas break on January 3. It was so much fun, welcoming them back, seeing their smiling faces and hearing their stories about the break. It was interesting to see the effect of the break on students and staff and the way we get back into our routines. Some of us enthusiastically return and some of us reluctantly return, but I feel in some way we are all happy to be back in school, back together, and back to our routines.
As the new year starts we have some excitement on the calendar. On January 20 we have conferences scheduled to share information about your child’s growth and accomplishments at the midpoint of the second trimester. We also end the month with the beginning of Catholic Schools Week. Catholic Schools Week starts with another opportunity to showcase the great things happening at our school. It starts with our open house to be held on January 29 from 2:00-4:15 through February 3rd.
Enjoy some pictures from our Christmas concert held December 15.
Mr. Oberdorf

Fun in the Snow
During recess on Monday and Tuesday many students in K4-4 started work on a snow fort. It was great to watch how they worked together and how excited they were when they or another student found a big chunk of snow to add to the wall. The students enthusiastically shared ideas on how to create the snow wall and cheered for each other as the work continued. The pictures show the gathering of chunks of snow from the snow piles and the construction of the wall in another area.
