View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal Good morning! October is the month of the Holy Rosary. Here is a great video from Bishop Baron to show you how to pray the rosary. Need a rosary? Come to the office and we can give you one!  October is also Respect Life month. We will celebrate and learn how we can respect all of God's life on earth this month. We will be collecting food for our church's food pantry, Pan de Vida. They provide food security to families in our St. Jane Frances community weekly. If you are able, please consider donating boxes of cereal or canned food this month! Halloween is right around the corner!  Please keep our costume rules in mind when shopping this year (see below). We are planning our yearly trunk-or-treat with a pumpkin carving & costume contest! Our flyer for Halloween activities is attached and volunteer sign ups are open on schoolspeak. Please join us for this fun day (Halloween day will be a 12:30 dismissal). We are HALF WAY to our Jog-a-Thon fundraising goal!

Contact  [email protected] Saint of the Day 10/7 Today is the feast day of the Holy Rosary. The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it a compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus—his birth, life, death, and resurrection. Mother Mary, pray for us.
