"I keep J.O.Y. in my heart by . . .
". . . Praying. I like to pray The Act of Contrition." Chase, Grade 4
" . . . Thinking of all the miracles in life and how our Lord and Savior is always there to guide us in our lives." Pearl, Grade 8
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I keep JOY in my heart by reflecting on the gift of each one of your children! I'm so grateful that I thought to take some student writing with me when I packed up my bag for this period of time that we are away from work. When I sat down to read these papers from grades 4 and 8, I knew immediately that I would like to share student thoughts with each of you in the weeks ahead.
We are all experiencing challenges, however, we plan to continue to work with you to provide consistent learning, support and prayer throughout this time of closure. Please stay tuned as I will share more after I meet with the teaching staff (online) on Monday. I am sure in between now and then, the children either have enough work to do in their learning apps or by reading, exercising and playing games.
In the meantime, enjoy the video and stay connected with the school by following us on Facebook, Instagram and of course, on the School website and Teacher's web pages. On a fun note, please check out the Adventures of Super Joy in between the other family activities:

litany in time of need
Dear Catholic School Families,
In the midst of the many planned communications we have with you during this time of school closure, I am writing to extend an important invitation to our Catholic school students and families. Archbishop Hebda and Bishop Cozzens are urging all Catholic school students, their families, teachers, and the entire Catholic school community to join them in praying daily the Litany in Time of Need.
A litany is a prayer that we can offer in any circumstance: when we are alone, at home together as a family, or gathered as a virtual community. In the face of all uncertainty, struggle and fear, this Litany is a real spiritual tool. It teaches our children that through prayer we can remain in relationship with God and each other. We remember that God—the only one who can truly help and save us—remains close. Our lives belong to him and we depend on him for all things.
This litany will be carried daily on Relevant Radio around 11:05 a.m. each day. Please tune-in and join us on AM 1330 or at relevantradio.com. You can also pray this Litany at any time of the day.
I am grateful for this uniquely powerful opportunity to act in solidarity through our united prayers for the sick, for those who care for the sick, for those who are alone, for the dead, and for the deliverance of the human family from sickness and evil.
