A New Chapter

This week, our 7th graders will be taking off on an adventure that begins a new chapter in our school's history -- our first overnight trip!  Please pray for our students, the parents who will join them at night, the instructors from Nature's Classroom, Fr. Tim who will join them on Wednesday to say Mass, and of course, Amy and Alton who are truly "Courageously Living..."  Amy and Alton have agreed to brave the wild with our 7th graders for three days.  If you are a prayer pal to either of them, bug spray would be a great gift right now.  In case you haven't already heard, Alton is an expert at canoeing, diving, swimming, fishing and all other water sports and will be leading the students in murky water species exploration.  Good luck, safe travels, and have a great time!  

Gina and I will be in after lunch on Monday.  We will be at a Hillsborough County Title I meeting in Tampa.  Spring pictures are on Tuesday (be flexible with the schedule).  Karen will have the details.  7th grade will be at Nature's Classroom Wed - Fri and will present the Living Stations on Friday after the Fish Fry.  I will be out on Friday at Tampa Catholic.  One other reminder, I will be in Jacksonville Mon - Wed (April 1-3) at Assumption School doing an accreditation visit and next Thursday is Field Day (April 4).  I will most likely not be sending out a blog next weekend as I will be preparing for the accreditation visit.  Have a great week and no wild parties when I'm gone next week.  

Reminder for teachers about Monday's PLC from my email last week:

On Monday, we will be using PLC time to look at samples of new curriculum for Math, Science, and ELA.  (Jennifer - please join Katie as there is cross over between ELA and social studies.  Charles - please join us to look at the technology requirements.)  I'd like to do it all together as some teachers teach all three subjects.  Following teachers are excused - Elaine, Julie, George, Julianne, Derrick, Alton but are welcome to join us.  We will meet in the Media Center
