FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: JOY

This month’s “fruit” is JOY! Knowing and experiencing God’s love brings us joy.

This month and throughout the year, we will practice recognizing and identifying various emotions. We will focus on delighting in each child by having happiness and appreciation for who they are, which creates joy in our relationships with them. We will foster the practice of prayer and gratitude while noticing things around us and in our lives that bring us joy.

“Clap your hands, all your nations; shout to God with cries of joy.” – Psalm 47:1

PET BLESSING CHAPEL: OCTOBER 4TH

We will be celebrating the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi with a Pet Blessing Chapel on Wednesday, October 4th. Chapel will be held in the garden outside of the Glennon House at 9:15am. You are welcome to bring your friendly, well-behaved pet to receive a special blessing by Rev. Lo!

If you are unable to participate in the Chapel service but would still like your pet to receive a blessing, Rev. Lo will be hanging out in car line from 8:50-9:10am to offer pet blessings through the car.

PUMPKIN & CANDY DONATIONS NEEDED

Ms. Gena is collecting pumpkins (any size, any number) for play and exploration in our Outdoor Classroom. The pumpkins will also be used for decoration during the Fall Festival.

In addition, we are collecting candy and small toys for Trunk-or-Treat!

Donations can be dropped off all month long through car line or in the shopping cart located in our breezeway. Thank you!

TRUNK-OR-TREAT (AKA FALL FESTIVAL)

We are looking forward to our Fall Festival (Trunk-or-Treat) during the school day on Thursday, October 26th! Click here for more information about the event, including the time frames that each class will participate and details about hosting a trunk. 

We need trunk volunteers! If you are interested in hosting a trunk, sign up here. 

The parking lot will be closed the morning of Thursday, October 26th. Car line will be open to all families! Please plan ahead if you would like to park and walk your child in on the 26th as you will need to park in the church lot or find public parking along Lyman.

All children are encouraged to wear a costume or festive t-shirt! We ask that you not send in any accessories with the costumes to help us prevent any broken or lost items. Please consider sending your child in an older costume that won’t be used for this year’s trick-or-treating in the event that the costume gets ripped or dirty while playing at school. Teachers will be in touch with additional notes and reminders regarding attire for the event.

Note: Students who do not attend school on Thursdays and wish to participate are welcome! 

Thank you for helping to make this event a fun and special one for our Little Saints!
