Virtue of the Month
Mercy -caring for those who suffer.
Lenten Reminders
- Talk to your children about confession and take them to this beautiful sacrament sometime during Lent. It is such a gift of Mercy and grace from our Lord!
- It's not too late to start doing something for Lent. Below are some good ideas for what to do as a family to make it more meaningful.

March Service Projects
All School - We are still collecting money for the CRS Rice Bowl. The CRS Rice Bowl is a donation to the Catholic Relief Services. It is a Lenten program for families and faith communities in the United States who want to put their faith into action. During Lent you are asked to devote your Lenten prayers, fasting and alms to change the lives of those who suffer. Lenten alms go to alleviate hunger and poverty in communities around the world and in the U.S. Please send in a donation and have your child put it in the Rice Bowl on the prayer table in their classroom. Thank you for helping those in need. God bless!

Temple Sinai - No Parking
Our Brimhurst neighbors at Temple Sinai need our help and cooperation. They continue to share concerns about our afterschool walkers procedures. We provide Brimhurst walkers as an optional dismissal method so that families may bypass the carpool line and pick up students. Please do not congregate and extend play time after school in their parking lot, trees, or the adjacent property. This will become especially critical in the coming weeks because Temple Sinai is opening a school after Spring Break and cannot accommodate additional foot traffic and/or vehicles on or around their property. We love that our children enjoy playing together with their friends, however please find another location.
