Happy Holy Week

John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

I hope you all have a very blessed Holy Week. Fr. Mark reminded us at our school mass that we are celebrating the Tridium this week, which includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday and The Easter Vigil. He invites all families to participate in Holy Week and compared our Holy Week as Catholics to that of NFL’s Super Bowl. It is the biggest event of the year for us.

Tomorrow is a half-day with a word service. The 7th grade class will act out the Last Supper for all of us. Tomorrow will be DRESS UNIFORM for all students. Wednesday, March 31, 2010 is Caesar Chavez Day, and in second grade we have honored him by writing a report on his life and we are trying to be more like him by incorporating more service into our lives, as well as working towards justice. Wednesday also kicks off our Spring Break. We will see everyone back in school on April 10th, 2010.

When we return from Spring Break, the final donations for Olympicathon are due on Wednesday, April 14th, 2010. On Friday, April 16th, 2010 we will have our Olypmicathon Fun Day at OLPH. On April 20th, which is a Tuesday the second grade will have their field trip to Amy’s Farm. Look for more information on the field trip when we return from spring break.

Thank you to all parents who volunteered their time for our class retreat and all parents who were able to donate yummy snacks, etc. The retreat was a huge success and the children were able to focus on their friendship with Jesus and with each other.

May you and all of your families have a blessed holiday and Happy Easter!

Blessings and thanks,

Miss Kraivanger
