A Prayer for an Ordinary Day

God, our loving Father, today is an ordinary day, like most days.  Yet this ordinary day is filled with your loving kindness and guiding spirit.  Thank you for the gift of this day.  Help us face difficult times with courage and hope, and help us accept easy times with gratitude and humility.  Make us more aware of your love for us and the joy you take in us as we go through this ordinary day.  We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord, AMEN

PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

Last week (on September 14th) we held our annual election for Student Commission offficers.  I am pleased to announce our newly elected  “governing body”:

President                                                    Brianna Caronchi

Vice-President                                        Maria Wojtilia

Secretary                                                    J’Teia James

Co-Treasurers                                         Jacob Kozak

This group is bright, hard-working and energetic.  I am certain that they will provide us with not only new ways to be of service to our school and community, but with leadership and inspiration to put their plans into action.

PARENT- TEACHER CONFERENCES

In today’s back pack mail, you will find a letter explaining our new  process for signing up for  Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences, which will take place on Wednesday, October 5th and Thursday, October 6th.  A reminder that we will have early dismissal (1:30 PM) on both days. and that scheduling a conference for each child is mandatory.  Please contact the office (216-731-3060)  or Mrs. Frydl (mfrydl@ srwschool.cc) with any questions.  *** If you have not yet contacted Mrs. Frydl via phone or e-mail for an account code for our website, you need to do this prior to signing up for a conference.  THIS IS NOT THE SAME CODE YOU USE TO ACCESS ED-LINE.

PICTURE DAY

A reminder that tomorrow is our annual picture day.  Students are to come dressed-up.  Please make certain that the order form that was sent home last week is completed and sent along with your child/ren tomorrow.

HIGH SCHOOL INFORMATION NIGHT

In an effort to promote Catholic High Schools as a serious and viable option for our students, Ss. Robert and William Catholic School will be hosting a “High School Information Night” on Wednesday, October 28th from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.  This night will be held “convention style” (high schools will have tables set up and you can go from table to table to ask questions and obtain information), and is primarily for 8th grade students (7th graders may also attend if they choose).  We have confirmation from Villa-Angela- St. Joseph, Lake Catholic, Notre Dame – Cathedral Latin and St. Peter Chanel: I will keep you posted as to other high schools that accept our invitation to participate.  Students will also receive a flyer to remind them of this evening in back-pack mail today.

Please mark this date on your calendar…. it is a great way to obtain a great deal of information in a quick and convenient manner.
