From the Principal's Desk: Mrs. Anna Piccirillo LoeweDay of Prayer for Legal Protection of Unborn Children “The ultimate reason for these mentalities is the absence in people’s hearts of God, whose love alone is stronger than all the world’s fears and can conquer them.” Blessed John Paul II
Dear Parents and families, Sunday, January 22, marked the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade which made abortion legal in our country. All dioceses in the United States are to observe a day of prayer for the legal protection of unborn children and are encouraged to celebrate Mass in Thanksgiving to God for the Gift of Human Life. Please continue to fast and pray for an end to this holocaust. Thank you for your generous support at Roll-a-thon. It was a wonderful success and a great day of fun and socializing for families and staff. Sadly, I was unable to share in the afternoon because I was home recovering from bronchitis that flared up during the week. This is always a wonderful fun-raising social event. Students reported that everyone had a terrific time! We exceeded our goal of $6000 by just over $1000 giving us the prize of a Day Off School! This will be on Thursday, February 16th making our mid-winter break 6 days long! Trivia Night is coming up soon on Saturday, February 11! This is a great opportunity to invite family and friends to join in the fun! Proceeds from the evening will benefit the school. Review and return the form about how you can assist. Next Sunday 11:00 am Mass begins our Catholic Schools Week 2012! This year’s theme is “Catholic Schools: Faith, Academics, Service”. Here at Holy Spirit Catholic School we are proud to offer an education that is distinctive among educational institutions in our community. We are excited to share what our students are learning and what they have accomplished. Immediately before and following the 11:00 am Mass is our CSW OPEN HOUSE ending at 3:00 pm. Please bring your family, friends and neighbors who may be considering Catholic education for their children. God bless you. In Christ through Mary, Mrs. Anna Loewe
SCHOOL POLICY FOR DISPENSING MEDICINE
As we enter the winter season the following excerpt from the family handbook is a reminder of our policy for handling medications at school:
1. Medications must be delivered to the school office in person by the parent and are kept in the office. 2. Medication must be accompanied by a dated authorization form, which has been signed by the parent and physician. 3. Medication must be in original container, stating student name, medication name, physician name, and directions. 4. Over-the-counter medication follows the same guidelines with a parent’s signature, and a call home before dispensed. 5. Parents may request permission for a student to carry and self-administer a prescription asthma inhaler if written permission is presented from the physician and parent, and notification is provided to principal and classroom teacher. 6. Individual records are kept of medications administered.
OUTDOOR RECESS AND CLOTHING During the winter months we will use the following parameters for outdoor recess: 1) When the temperature is 10 degrees and above, students will be expected to participate in outdoor recess; 2) When the temperature is 9 degrees and below, indoor activities will be provided for the students. Wind chill is considered. Students go out for recess each day. With
Saint Philomena, behold us kneeling in spirit before the throne on which it has pleased the Most Holy Trinity to place thee. Full of confidence in thy protection, we beseech thee to intercede for us with God. From the height of thy heavenly country, deign to cast a look upon thy humble servant! Spouse of Jesus Christ, console us in our troubles, strengthen us in temptations, protect us in the dangers which surround us on every side; obtain all the graces necessary for us, especially And above all, assist us at the our death. Saint Philomena, powerful with God, pray for us. Amen
