Family Prayer
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
My life is like the wind.
- In the Book of Job, God allows Satan to inflict all kinds of suffering on Job.
- Through it all, Job remains faithful to God.
- The story of Job points out that the ways of God are beyond human understanding.
I am all things for all people, for the sake of the Gospel.
- The Corinthian community wants to reward Paul for his ministry among them.
- Paul stresses that God's love is freely given.
- In today's passage, Paul preaches to the community about God's generosity.
He went to a lonely place to pray.
- The stories of Jesus' miracles are a sign that the power of Satan is broken and the kingdom of God has arrived.
- Jesus is the one who brings the kingdom of God to earth.
- In today's Gospel the miracles are signs of the ultimate healing that Jesus will bring to the world.

A Message from Mrs. Laidlaw Otto
Dear SJE Families,
After a successful prospective family open house last weekend, we are enjoying our celebration of our Catholic School. I’d like to give a special shout out to our National Junior Honor Society students. These students planned our school activities. They were also actively involved in implementing these activities for our students. Perhaps the favorite activity of our students this week was our class team building challenge. Students had to complete a variety of activities, including a STEM challenge, some physical challenges and a variety of puzzles. Once classes completed all of the challenges, they received a three number combination to a padlock on a box in their classrooms. Our students were so excited to discover the treasure hidden inside!
Mass this week fell on the feast of St. Blaise. Not only did our students learn about this martyr, they also received a special blessing to help protect against diseases of the throat.
Today we celebrated by “winding down” with some quiet class activities. Thanks to our Home and School Association for providing all of us with a hot chocolate treat.
Our week has been busy. We are especially grateful this year because we are together. Although we are missing our buddy activities, our students are enjoying the blessings that they have been given.
Happy Catholic Schools Week!
Mary Laidlaw Otto

Valentine's Day Update
Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it! Celebrating with class parties is a bit more of a challenge this year, but we are already planning ahead. You will receive detailed instructions on class celebrations from your child’s homeroom teacher, but our general guidelines are these: For classes who will exchange Valentine cards, all completed cards must be sent to school no later than Thursday February 11th. The cards will be separated by student, and, after sitting for the weekend, will be enjoyed by their recipients on Monday at classroom celebrations. Many parents choose to send a pre-wrapped treat of some sort along with the Valentine. This is fine, as long as treats are in school on Thursday, for use on Monday.
Monday, February 15th, will be an out-of-uniform day. Students may wear, red, white, pink, or any other colors they would like to celebrate Valentine's Day.
