Thanks to Mrs. Johnson for making our prayer pretzels today - we discussed how the pretzel has 3 different parts (similar to a shamrock) and how it reminds us of the Trinity: Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Also, the shape of the pretzel looks like the position of our arms when they go up for a blessing. You may find it in their lunchbox as I told them to teach the pretzel story to those at home.
I introduced the Stations of the Cross to the class and we will be learning one station each day until Holy Week. Today, students learned about how Jesus was treated badly and how he was condemned to death by King Pilate (Station #1). Tomorrow, we will visit the Church to see the Stations of the Cross and pray Lenten meditation.
Tomorrow is library and show and tell 'Mystery Bag'. Please return report card covers & envelopes.
Wednesday reminders: PE, hot lunch
*I'm still looking for 2 parents to bring in veggies and fruits - pls contact me if you can help
Parenting Workshop:
Building Resilience our Children
With Dr. Deborah MacNamara
7pm on Tuesday, April 1st in the Parish Center
Humans are some of the most adaptive creatures on the planet with the capacity to overcome adversity and find creative solutions to our problems. While it is within everyone’s capacity to be resilient and resourceful, this potential is not always realized for everyone. Raising resourceful and resilient children has never been more important and the role of tears in this process never more misunderstood. Adults play a key role in cultivating the roots of resilience that have lasting effects on their capacity to endure adversity.
*Babysitting will be provided but space is limited.
Please RSVP to the School or PREP office by Friday, March 28th.
