CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK!

Dear Parents, I hope that the weekend brings all of us a chance to rest and recuperate! Our students and staff have all been fighting illness over the past couple of weeks and I am sure we all welcome the weekend as a chance to lay low and relax. I would like to thank all of you for your participation in Catholic Schools Week last week. Our Student Council did a great job organizing our week! We also received positive feedback on Grandparents Day celebra-tion. Many of us thoroughly enjoyed celebrating a multi-generational Mass and then releasing students early to enjoy a full afternoon with their grandparents. Our Kinder and 4th grade classes led us in our First Friday celebration this morning focusing on love and kindness. In February, when we cele-brate Valentine’s Day, we reflect on the love and trust that we have in God, our families, friends, and in each other. Our journeys of faith and trust in God and in our families are often very personal journeys. Mar-riages, births, deaths, illnesses, joys and sorrows ~ all of them are in God’s plan for us. At times it is difficult to decipher their meaning and this is where trust in God’s plan can falter. As Lent is quickly approach-ing (Ash Wednesday is the 26th!) I plan on challenging my heart to put trust in the plan – even if right now I can’t understand the meaning. I hope that through this time of prayer and reflection my trust can grow and that I can deepen my personal relationship with God. Not an easy undertaking, but one worth the effort! We have much to celebrate and be grateful for this week at St. Pat’s. Yesterday our first “Pop Up” Class celebrating Black History Month was held. I want to thank Linda Reynoso and the volunteers who helped her, for providing an engaging, fun afternoon celebrating our diversity. We also wish our Robotics and Math Counts teams the best in their tourna-ments this weekend. I feel truly blessed that we are able to offer such great programs and experiences – athletic, academic, and cultural – for our students. As Lent is just around the corner, please look for resources to come home in the Curriculum Corner as we draw closer to this most holy time in our Church. It is my hope that the resources we provide will help your family draw closer to the Gospel message this Lent. Have a restful weekend! Maureen Halderman

The St. Patrick School Robotics Team, the Electric Leprechauns, had a fantastic tournament this past Saturday. We wanted to share the results below so that you may congratulate them on great job. Elementary School Level Team B (Caiden Curtze, Roman Castro & Luke Campbell) Finished 9 out of 26 Team and finished 2nd in the overall Skills competition. Team D (Preston Marsh & Ethan Nunley) Finished 15 out of the 26 Teams Middle School Level Our two teams tied for 2nd place Team C (Spencer Arivee and Jeremy Campbell) and Team F (Luke Montoya & Lucca Viola) In addition, Luke and Lucca finished 1st in the Skills Competition. More importantly, they were given the Sportsmanship Award which is given to the team that earned the respect and admira-tion of the volunteers and other teams at the event. There is a good chance Team B & Team F will receive an invitation to the State Championship. Also, we received feedback from parents that our students speak very proudly of their school.
