In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday and Read Across America, this coming Monday (March 7th), students (and staff) are invited to come to school dressed as their favorite book character (shirts that have images of book characters are also fine).  Please note, this does not have to be Dr. Seuss related, it can be a character from any book.  Students who don’t wish to dress as a storybook character on Monday should come to school in their standard uniform attire.

As a reminder, today is the day to begin utilizing your family’s Lenten Activity Kit, which were sent home with students yesterday!   If you missed yesterdays note, you can view it HERE or reference the article in March’s edition of Saber Stories.  If you would like to share pictures of your family participating in this activity or share feedback about the activity in general, we encourage you to send that to Amy Guenther (aguenther@saintjamesschool.net) over the next few weeks.

 

The Saint James School Board’s Catholic Identity Committee has prepared a special activity kit for families to use during Lent. The activity focuses on prayer, fasting, and good works.

Kits will contains three charts, each of which provides several specific practices which you and your family can observe.  At the beginning of Lent, you and your children can prepare the kit for use by cutting along the lines of each chart to produce a total of 45 suggested actions.  Put the 45 cards (in random order) into the bag provided.  Each evening during Lent, have one child reach into the bag and blindly select one of the cards.

On the following day, every member of the family will attempt to put that suggestion into practice.  If you choose to do so, you may discuss ways in which you attempted to act upon the prior day’s suggestion.

A huge Thank You to the members of the Catholic Identity Committee – Mrs. LaMarche, Mrs. Camposeo, Mrs. Modugno, and Mrs. LaFontana – for coordinating this great activity for our families to enjoy!
