Family Prayer 

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46

Those who are sick shall live outside the camp.

• The Book of Leviticus is a collection laws; many having to do with the proper worship of God.
• In today's reading we hear of illness and exclusion from communal life.
• Because people did not know about the process of contagion at the time, the community banished persons with any skin disease as long as the disease lasted.

Reading II : 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1

Imitate me as I do Christ.

• The passage from 1 Corinthians refers to a concern the early Christians had about eating meat that had been sacrificed to idols.
• Paul makes the point that our behavior toward others is more important than what we eat or drink.
• Paul's advice is to avoid offending one another at all costs.

Gospel : Mark 1:40-45

If you will do so, you can cure me.

• The Gospel story shows that Jesus not only has the power to cure disease, he also has the power to heal the separation from the community and the separation from God, which leprosy signified.
• Jesus' approach to the leper would have scandalized the people of his time.
• By touching the leper, Jesus demonstrated the arrival of the kingdom of God.

Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week was a lot of fun. We celebrated our students and staff, our school and parish community, our school spirit, and our school’s families. Many activities were planned by our NJHS students to guide our celebration. We had spirit wear day and a day where students dressed as teachers and teachers dressed students. Some of the activities included board game mania, a buddy activity to make door decorations for Clement Manor and Valentine’s day cards for parishioners, a four corners game for students to learn new things about staff members, door decorating, a pep rally, and a staff vs. 8th grade volleyball game. It was definitely a week of celebration. 

Please check out photos of the fun on Facebook!

Please ask your child about his or her reading goal. The 2nd graders received the trophy for the second time this school year. Congrats 2nd grade.

Great job!

Secure in Place/ Lockdown

SJE recently had to “Secure in Place” due to a medical situation. After announcing the “Secure in Place” I realized our parents and volunteers did not know what it meant so I am sharing this information with you. 

Secure In Place(soft lockdown)

Signals “Secure in Place” stated 3 times 

This lockdown procedure will be used in cases where there is no imminent danger within our building.  Examples of times when secure in place might be used:

• The need for emergency personnel (paramedics, etc.) to be in our building
• Custody issues (non-custodial parent seeking entry into the building)
• Neighborhood issues (notification of nearby robbery, police chase, etc.)

Secure in place will be announced over the PA.  Teachers should close, lock classroom doors and cover the door's window.  Students who are out of the room at the time that a secure in place lockdown is announced should be allowed to enter the room. No student or adult should leave the room once the announcement has been made.  Students will not leave classrooms to change classes, to get class materials from the hallway, etc., until the end of the secure in place has been announced.

All Clear Signal:  “All Clear”

Lockdown



Signals “Lock Down” stated 3 times

When a full building lockdown is called via the PA, it will be up to the classroom teacher to determine whether to hide in the classroom or to exit the classroom and the building.

In a situation where the teacher determines that it is appropriate to flee the building, students will line up, hold hands, and exit together.  It will be up to the teacher to decide where to go upon leaving the building, depending on the situation.  Teachers should have cell phones and class emergency folders with them as they exit.  Regardless of the direction chosen, students should continue to hold hands.  Move as far away from the building and head into the neighborhood away from the open SJE fields as quickly as possible.

Should a teacher determine that the safest plan is to hide, students and teachers should move to the back of the classroom, away from the door and windows.  Students must remain quiet and in place until the door is opened by emergency personnel or administration.
