Short and Sweet Hi-lites week of January 14^th, 2010

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Yesterday, we celebrated a 6^th Grade Family Mass in the Chapel with Fr. Paul.  The first lesson was from Samuel I and told the story of Samuel being called by the Lord.  Fr. Paul's reflection was clear, "We need to be listening."  We are all busy, busy people with busy, busy children.  Quiet is a blessing.  Try to niche out a spot of quiet time for yourself and your family.  It might help us hear God' voice.   (Special thanks to 6^th graders, Tommy Weiss and Colin Francis, for their great job of reading Samuel for us!)

Have a great long weekend.

Jane Schmidt
Principal

She knows the "WHERE"
Congratulations to 8^th grader, Leah Leonidas, for taking top place in our HCS Geography Bee.  Leah will go on to complete a written test to qualify for the state competition.  Go Leah!

A Spot of Help
The coordinators of Families Moving Forward thank you for your food donations to help stock lunches.  Quite honestly, they could use a "bit more."  Please consider tossing an extra lunch item into your grocery cart this weekend and send it to school on Tuesday.   Your generosity makes a difference.

Dates to Remember:

Tomorrow:   Viking shirts/jerseys can be worn to pre-celebrate our win on Sunday.  Acceptable wear for Friday:  Marathon shirts or Vikings garb.  It is not a regular out-of-uniform day.  Go Vikes!

Tomorrow:  H1N1 Clinic at HCS from 7-10 a.m.

Monday, January 18^th  Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  NO SCHOOL

We are looking forward to the kindergarteners parade through school tomorrow with their newly designed, "I Have a Dream Shirts."

Look for all of the Catholic Schools Week announcements to come home next week!

We have a fun line-up....rollerskating, BINGO, Twins Day...

Please plan on attending our All School Mass, Feb. 3^rd.  Following Mass, we will have a chance to hear from our new "Distinguished Aumni," Michelle Salmen, Class of 1995.
