1/5
Weve been noticing a lot of ankles
showing around school, which means
that it is time to put out the used uni-
forms again so families can go throug
and find items to meet the needs of t
children. These will be placed on the
tables in the staff lounge on the main
floor of the school during SSFD. The
and Found bin is also full of items. Ta
time to go through the items and find
those missing articles of clothing and
winter wear.
Be sure to read over the CSW brochur
this weekend to plan for the fun dress
days as well as what items we are col
lecting each day for the deployed troo
affiliated with the GA Parish. Please a
plan on attending the GA Volunteer Ev
ning on Thursday for some Ice Cream
socializing and Bingo! Nine parishion
and school volunteers will be recogniz
for their outstanding service to our
school and parish.
Many blessings to you and your fam
ily!Mrs. Amy Gallus
Dear GA Families
We have reached the halfway point of
our school year, and next weeks
Catholic Schools Week celebration is
definitely a highlight for students and
staff alike. We have a whole week to
celebrate what we are at our coreA
Catholic School educating the whole
child for todays world! As part of the
greater Catholic School System, we
have much to be proud about. Local
Catholic High Schools have a 99.4%
graduation ratethat is a phenomenal
statistic. If you have not heard, the
Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis has been researching and have
now put together a campaign to get
the word out about the success of the
Catholic School system. The cam-
paign is called Aim Higher. What a
fitting phrase to describe the value of
our school.
We as a school Aim Higher in.
~Spiritual and Character Development~Better Academics and Outcomes
~Individual Attention
~Being a Supportive Community
These are the top four promises of a
Catholic school education, and while I
didnt create the list on my own, I cant
disagree with a single item on it. I am
sure you agree with me. Coming home
with your students today are a few
copies of our postcard that was mailed
out to prospective families as well as a
letter explaining the new Referral Pro-
gram we are starting. Please take a
minute to read over the information
and start spreading the Good News in
Education about Guardian Angels.
One of the things I have discovered I
love about my job is when I hear great
news about our students and alums.
On an almost weekly basis, I hear a
comment, speak to a former GA stu-
dent, or learn a wonderful nugget of
information. Because of this, we have
created our GA Brag Boardcheck it
out when you are here next. It is at the
far end of the main entrance hallway.
This weeks news was about Mario
Zattonijunior at Benilde St. Margarets
and teammate of the injured hockey
player. He and his friends organized a
fund raiser this past weekend to aid in
the hospital bills and rehabilitation of
their friend. When I communicated
with his mother, Lynette, she replied to
me We both know he got a great
start learning about Christian servitude
years ago. Yes, he did, right here at
GA!
This weekend is going to be a great way
to showcase our school. There is so
much planned for the event, I hope you
and your family can partake in the
festivities. Well have the whole school
on display, participation in all the week-
end Masses by our students, tours
given and prospective families invited,
Dads Belgian Waffles to eat, games to
play, silent auction items to bid on, and
the list goes on! Hope to see you there.

Introducing Our New Hospitality Ministry and Baking Brigade!!
Do you like to entertain, bake or just meet people and make them feel welcome? If so,we invite you to join our new GA hospitality ministry. This ministry will support parish-
wide events such as a reception for our parish feast day or a welcome event for a new
priest, deacon or staff member. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to
either coordinate an event or those folks who would rather just help out. Maybe you
could get a team of 2-3 friends or family members who would be willing to coordinate
an event or two each year as a mini-social bonding event between friends/family? We
would also like to create a Baking Brigade of folks who would be willing to occasion-
ally bake treats for parish events. If you are interested in any of these activities please
contact Marie Guillemette 952-368-3086.
