Be a Prayer Warrior

This week I begin by saying we all need to be prayer warriors.  Give thanks to God for Maria's first grandchild.  Pray that the Lord's peace may be with the Wierbonic family during this difficult time as they grieve the loss of Sue's sister-in-law.  Pray for those displaced from their homes because of Dorian.  Pray for Mrs. Torres starting round 2 of Chemo.  Pray for all our students who may be having difficulties in their lives.  Pray, pray, pray.  

Enjoy the quiet of the next two weeks, because some busy days are coming.  In a couple of weeks, we will have our Spirit Week followed by Book Fair.  Student council will provide information on Spirit Week and NJHS is sponsoring a Penny War that same week.  More details to follow.  On the Friday of Book Fair week, we will have Grandparents Day.  

The Parish Ministry fair takes place the weekend of Sept. 21-22.  I still need 3 volunteers (1 for the 9:30 Mass and 2 for the 11:30 Mass).  Only 30 minutes of your time is needed after Mass to sit at the school table and check on our students at the craft table.  Thank you to those who have already volunteered - Mustang Bucks to you!

Here is a website about storytelling and information about the Tampa Bay Storytelling Festival.  Unfortunately, it is on a weekend, but we can let our parents know about it and encourage them to attend http://tampastory.org/teaching-storytelling/   There is a storytelling manual which I have downloaded and sent to teachers in an email.

Tomorrow is a STREAM faculty meeting.  Please bring with you what your project will look like.  I would like a copy of everyone's project.  You should always give students written directions, a copy of the rubric, and a timeline with due dates at the start of every project.  If yours is not done yet, please send it when finished and just bring your ideas to share.

Have a good week everyone.
