NEWS FROM DR. REID Dear St. Patrick Families, Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? Matthew 16:24-28, Mark 8:34-9:1, Luke 9:22-25 During Lent, we will meditate on Christ’s journey to the cross as we complete the Stations of the Cross. Our Prayer Warrior Club will lead us through the Stations of the Cross and take us on a prayerful journey through a mixture of stories, scripture, and prayer. Students received a calendar for Lent. Each day there may be a scripture reading or an activity to complete together. Take the time to complete the activities as a family and then have your child/ren share which activity they completed with their classroom and teacher. Song Leaders sang beautifully during our Ash Wednesday Mass. Thank you Ms. LeBoeuf and our Song Leaders. |

COVID PROTOCOLS We want to thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community safe and healthy. As we move into the second half of our school year we will be following our diocesan infectious disease policy for COVID. This means that should an individual contract COVID, they will be able to return to school after 24 hours fever free and symptom improvement. This aligns with how we currently manage all communicable diseases throughout our school communities. We are grateful for your collaboration to help maintain our safe environment. |
