A Note from the Principals


"Dear young people, Jesus wants to be your friend, and wants you to spread the joy of this friendship everywhere."- Pope Francis

Last week we had a great assembly called NED. The presenter did a great job teaching the students lessons through storytelling & yo-yo tricks! 
NED stand for "Never give up. Encourage others. & Do your best." We hope to continue these lessons through the school year. The presentation was free but we'd like to "pay it forward"  by selling NED yo-yos so another school can receive a free presentation as well. Yo-yos will be on sale through Wednesday this week. 

Our first student of the month assembly will be on Friday! This month we have been focusing on the character trait of RESPECT. Teachers have done activities and lessons to help teach respect to all of our students. October's trait is RESPONSIBILITY. Please join us for mass on Friday followed by the awards.

We have received MANY complements on our teacher shirts this year  so we have decided to sell them to everyone! Place your orders soon so we can order by October (see the attached order form).

Registration forms for the long-awaited Armenian classes went out last week. Classes will begin on Monday after school. Please sign & return your slips as soon as possible (see the attached form). 


Reminders:
-Dance Class for grades TK-5 are every Thursday after school. If you are interested, please see the school office. They will be performing during our Harvest festival in November! 

Have a great week!
Mrs. Giron & Ms. Aceves
THE DIGITAL PARENT
Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century

This tip is from PsychologyToday.com:

"The operative word in raising healthy children in this often-times unhealthy digital world they are growing up in is balance. A nutritional analogy works well here. A balanced nutritional diet doesn’t mean 50 percent healthy food and 50 percent junk food. Rather, a balanced diet involves ensuring that your children get adequate nutrition from all of the major food groups while allowing them periodic treats.

The same holds true for your children’s diet of technology. You first need to make sure that your children get the proper “nutrition” they need in their lives, meaning offering them a psychological, emotional, intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual “diet” that will fuel their vigorous development, in addition to fostering healthy self-identity, values, thinking, relationships, and life.

Once this “nourishment” is in place and your children are growing strong mentally and physically, you can then introduce other “foods,” namely, technology, that may or may not be healthy."

Saint of the Day (9/23)
Every Saint has a story & Saint Padre Pio was a witness to the power of suffering. If accepted with love, the Father stressed, such suffering can lead to “a privileged path of sanctity.” Read more below:
