May the luck of the Irish be with you all! I hope you all enjoyed this long weekend. It's important that everyone checks the calendar on a regular basis as there are many events happening this month.
Here is a quick look at some of the events:
- On Wednesday, teachers please remind students what they should be wearing for Jeans and Green day on March 17.
- Spring pictures are the following week and Karen B. will be sending out a schedule.
- 7th graders will be missed from March 23 to March 25 when they will be attending Nature's Classroom in Palm Harbor.
- Lent confessions begin on March 23. Check the calendar or refer to my email.
- Our final canned food drive begins the week of March 28. Please tie this into your discussions about Lent in religion class.
You may have seen the update from the Office of Evangelization in the Weekly Update last week where they talk about Ukraine. They wrote, "CRS and Ukraine Relief: Please consider the possibility of holding additional fundraisers, such as a Dress Down Day, in solidarity for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. This would be a way to raise additional monies for the work that CRS is doing to support refugees."
We did talk about how we could promote helping those in Ukraine prior to this and I gave parents information in Tidbits that was posted on the Diocese website. When a few of us saw this idea Thursday in the Weekly Update, we felt this was something simple we can do and this money will be added to the Rice Bowl money we send to CRS. The Dress Down Blue and Yellow Day will be April 1. Please help students understand what we are doing. Rice bowls, a dress-down day, and canned food are all excellent ways we can help those in need during Lent.
Have a great week and teachers I hope you enjoy your various professional developments tomorrow (Tuesday).
