GOOD NEWS BEARS

Week of February 12, Vol 1, Issue 26

Dear St. David Families, 


As we continue our journey through the month of February, we find ourselves amidst a tapestry of reflection, celebration, and gratitude. This month brings occasions that invite us to deepen our connections, both spiritually and within our community.


With the arrival of Lent, we embark on a period of introspection and spiritual growth. It's a time for self-reflection, prayer, and acts of kindness. As we contemplate our journey, let us embrace the opportunity for personal collective renewal.


Simultaneously, Valentine's Day offers a beautiful reminder to express love and appreciation for those dear to us. Whether through heartfelt gestures, kind words, or simple acts of generosity, let us cherish the bonds that unite us and spread love throughout our school community.


As we navigate the remainder of February, let us carry the spirit of Lent, Valentine's Day, and community with us. May this month be filled with reflection, love, and gratitude.


Yours in faith,

Ms. Medrano
