Pre-School, LWC, Grades 1 – 6

It has been a great year thus far. For the most part parents are following the rules. Please read the administrative assistance’s, Janine Villanueva, article to follow up on our traffic pattern situation. As a reminder, classes are from 9:45 to 11:00 am on Saturday. We do NOT offer after classes care. All parents should bring students on time and pick them up on time. Each Saturday, parent bible study is offered. Attendance is usually low. What type of message does this send to the children? This is your opportunity to strengthen your faith and help your children in their faith journey.

I only have a few activities to discuss. HCA, Holy Childhood Association, fund raising is going beautifully. Carla De La Rosa of the intermediate formation class in grade four has striven these first few months to help children in need. She has brought in the most donations for this cause. She has given her entire allowance plus the change that she gathers. She is truly following in Christ’s footsteps. She was presented on December 15, 2001 with a scooter for her efforts. A few other students were also recognized for their contributions. I would like to thank everyone for giving so generously. The class that raises the most cash donations from January through May will receive a class party.

In keeping with the Christmas season. The children have and continued to bring in non-perishable food and baby items for Birthline.

Please keep track of all scheduled parent meetings. Sacrament parents are those parents whose children are working on completing their second year of religious education. All other parents are considered non-sacrament. It is important for parents/guardians to attend these informative sessions.

Please continue to be involved in the religious education of your children. You are their primary catechist. Rest assure that we are doing our part. Catechists develop their teaching skills at monthly in-service training sessions. They continually seek out materials and techniques to better guide your children. It is important to form a bond with your child's catechist by talking to your child’s teacher.
