St . Raphael the Archangel School

. . . A W O R D FRO M O U R P R I N C I PA L

March 18 , 2018

This week the 3rd

graders introduced a

new virtue — Mercy. Be

sure to check out our

Mercy Wall of Fame in

the front foyer of the

school. Also, please feel

free to join us for all

school Mass during

Lent. Father Shayne

leads us in praying the

Rosary after each Mass

and the students have

done a wonderful job en-

gaging in this prayer.

Blessings,

THE G EAT NEWS

ST. RAPHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT At St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic School it is our MISSION to be a faith-filled, Catholic community serving God, families and children by instilling the core values of FAITH, COMMUNITY, ACHIEVEMENT and LEADERSHIP.

Dear Parents:

I first wish to apolo-

gize for any confusion

caused by the last news-

letter regarding tuition.

Due to a formatting is-

sue the monthly pay-

ment option did not ap-

pear as an option. By

now you should have

received a hard copy of

the tuition and fee

schedule for the 2018 –

19 school year. It is also

posted on Sycamore. I

am truly sorry for any

inconvenience this may

have caused.

A few days ago, I

heard someone refer to

this time of year as

“Farch” (February/

March combined)!! I

thought that was a clever

way of describing this

time of year as we yearn

for warm spring weath-

er. “Farch” has been ex-

tremely busy at St. Raph-

ael. Hard work in the

classrooms, Terra Nova,

Lent, Fish Frys, academic

competitions, winter

sports — and the list goes

on. We also honored our

students who were

named to the Honor Roll

for the second trimester.

(Please see the listing in

this issue of the gReat

news.) Let us all contin-

ue to stay focused as

“Farch” comes to an end

and we enter the last six

weeks of school.

Middle School Prayer Service For Peace — Our middle school students, teach-

ers and some parents participated in a pray-

er service alternative to the nationwide school

walkout. They began outside and proceeded

to the gym. After the service the students re-

turned to class in silence. Thanks to Dr. Tuck-

er, Ms. Tabor and Father Shayne for leading

our students in prayer.

TRINITY SCHOLARS AT SRS

out Father Shayne’s motto of Pray, Study Serve. Thanks

PRINCIPAL FOR THE DAY

Thanks to Peyton Plumeri, grade 5, who was Principal for the

Day on Thursday. Peyton did a fine job, starting with an-

nouncements and prayer, opening our all school prayer ser-

vice, presenting Honor Roll certificates and helping with car

rider dismissal. Quite a busy day. A principal in the making?

HOW MUCH HAS IT GROWN? — Ms. Simmon’s first graders measured the grass which they

planted from seed during a science experiment. Watch for a surprise when the children bring home their

projects.

Principal for the Day—he

also was PE Teacher for

had a great day collaborat-

ing.
