Happy June!!

It is hard to believe that the 2016-2017 school year is almost at an end. Summer is fast approaching, but we are still very busy with school happenings. The 8th Grade Graduation Mass is Thursday, June 1 at 10:30 a.m. Eighth Graduation is on Friday, June 2 at 3:30 p.m. and our Kindergarten Graduation is also on Friday at 9:00 a.m. Our final school Mass is Wednesday, June 7 at 8:00 a.m. The last day of school is Thursday, June 8 with dismissal at 10:30 a.m.

The first day of school for the 2017-2018 school year is Monday, August 21. We will host our “Meet & Greet” on Wednesday, August 16 from 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. in the Parish Center. You will have an opportunity to meet the classroom and auxiliary teachers, as well as pick up your monthly packet. We ask that you return all pertinent information to school on the first day of school with your child.

Thank you for your attendance at Spring Sing. The children sang their songs so beautifully and were very enthusiastic with their physical prompts. Our Eighth Grade students acted out their scenes flawlessly and were on cue with their introductions. Thank you to Mrs. Thielke, the students, and the teachers for an amazing show.

Thank you so much for your generosity during Teacher Appreciation Week. The breakfast, lunch, notes, and treats were very much appreciated. Finally, I wish to thank all of you for a wonderful school year. Thank you for entrusting your children to us. They are kind and caring and make coming to work each day a pleasure.

Problem of the month. In the combined sixth grade class, 14 out of 56 students walk to school. What percent of the students walk to school?

Happy Calculating, Mrs. Janet Donnelly

Spiritual Affairs – Mrs. Colleen Martinez

I want to close the school year and my two years in service as Spiritual liaison by saying, "Thank you!!!" I feel this gift has helped me to grow more in my own spirituality. What a blessing from God this has been! I must say that I knew nothing about budgeting and fundraising, but have learned a lot. (Probably more than I wanted to in that area.)

I pray that all of you can find at least 5 minutes in front of our Blessed Sacrament in Adoration. I promise if you give God 5 minutes, He will give so much more in return. It's always on the first Tuesday of the month in the church and the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for 24 hours. You do not have to sign up to go, but feel free to sign up if you are able. Have your children bring a notebook and they can draw pictures or journal about what Jesus is saying to them as they listen in silence. Believe it or not, Adoration is very peaceful. If you are unable to attend at our church, St. Martin de Porres in Yorba Linda has 24 hour daily Adoration in the chapel. St. Angela Merici in Brea has it, as well.

Finally, I want to sadly say goodbye to all the 8th grade families. We will miss you and wish you many Blessings. Please have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing summer. I'm leaving you with a favorite prayer.

Blessings, Colleen Martinez
