Can you believe that tomorrow is May 1? Only four weeks left and it's hard to believe. What better way to start the month than with all the treats that PTCO will provide to show their appreciation for all you do. Mary and I also appreciate all your efforts this year. This has been a fabulous year after many challenging ones. We are on a good path and our Terra Nova scores scream success!
Congratulations to our 2nd graders who received First Holy Communion on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony and they will come dressed on Wednesday to take part in the May Crowning procession on Wednesday right before Mass. Seating for this Mass will be a little different. Second grade will sit where K and 8 usually sit. Kindergarten will sit in the side section near the choir (where I usually sit). Eighth graders will sit in the first two rows on the other side where 1st grade usually sits. First graders will move back and take 2nd grade's spot. Come see me if you need clarification.
I have spent the weekend going through the ARCA and you have done great work. We still have some work to do and I have created a list as I've gone through it. We are missing some evidence that does exist and some of the links are not working. I will review this with Mary on Monday morning and she will get a list to each domain. We will most likely need to work on this for the first couple of hours on Friday and then begin presenting the work. Presenting means going through the ARCA and defending your scores. You will not need to open each piece of evidence during the presentation, just talk about them. Everyone needs to be familiar with the complete ARCA, not just the domain you worked on. If there are any concerns after the presentation, the adjustments can be made in the afternoon. The Steering Committee will discuss the Domain Reports and the Action Plans.
I will be joining our 8th graders on Thursday as we travel to the Universal Academy in Tampa for Interfaith Day.
Have a wonderful week!
