Go Light Your World

This coming Friday we say goodbye to our 8th graders as they take their diplomas and move their tassels.  This marks the end of yet another school year.  I'm finding it difficult to imagine that we only have two weeks left of school.  Let's be sure to keep teaching until the end.  I hope you achieved all your teaching goals this year and can see the fruits of your efforts in the progress our students have made. 



Monday after school will be our final faculty meeting.  Be sure you attend as there will be important information from Charles and I as to how to finalize the year.  The important items to be discussed are inventories, cleaning and packing the rooms, grades and report cards, and cums.  I will also tell you what to expect on the last day of school. 

The calendar meeting takes place next week.  If you have any events that you want approved for next year they MUST be in school dude.  I cannot promise that anything will be approved during the year as others may have the space you seek reserved.  This includes all student council and NJHS events.

I will be at the Project Read workshop on Monday and Tuesday.  It will be in the FLC so I will not be far. 

Have a good week and keep the students focused.   


 

May the Graces of Mary Bless our Teachers

Today was the day of Consecration to Mary.  It was the day to give your heart to Mary.  To entrust yourself to Mary.  To unite yourself to the perfect consecration of Jesus through Mary.  What comes next?  According to Michael Gaitley "lots of grace and a glorious new morning!"  As we live our consecration we should do everything with Mary, in Mary, through Mary, and for Mary.   I pray that Mary blesses each child who received the Body of her Son, Jesus on Saturday.  It was a beautiful Mass.  Thank you Heather for helping to prepare our students.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            "May Mary's example of trust and faithfulness be our strength, our light and our guide." ~ Bishop Parkes 

This is Teacher's Appreciation Week.  Please know that I appreciate all of you and everything you do for our students and our school. I'm not sure who the wine fairy was, but I also appreciate the bottle of Roscato wine left on my desk!  I know the parents appreciated the wonderful show Friday night.  They keep getting better!!  Please enjoy your week.
