Ready or not, here it is! Welcome to a new school year. From everything I saw Friday afternoon, I know we are ready. From the smiles on the faces of the children (AND parents!), they are also ready to be back at school. Today at Mass, I was filled with joy when I heard Fr. Dermot's homily. He talked about Paul's letter and made the connection to our theme, Be Kind! He talked about our theme and then asked the community to join in on our mission to be kind. It felt like we are now part of something bigger, and I hope that together, we can all make at least our small part of the world a kinder place.
With Monday being lost last week, we were rushed to complete pre-planning items. I have included a couple of reminders below and will cover anything else we missed at our Tuesday Faculty Meeting.
- Church envelopes: I saw that some classrooms had the boxes out on Friday, which was fine. It reminded me that we didn't talk about these last week. Please be sure to talk to the students about why they have them. They are for them to share their time, talent, or treasure. It does not have to be money; it can be a prayer or writing about something they did to help someone.
- Fire drills: Be sure to practice the fire drill with students. Encore teachers should at least point to where they exit the room or take them all the way out. We will have a fire drill sometime during the week.
