A New Year’s Prayer
May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,
and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.

Survey Information Needed
Dear Parents,
Our school is participating in the
University of Notre Dame’s Catholic School Advantage Campaign.
An important element of that program is gathering feedback
from parents on their experiences with the school.
For that reason, we have created a brief survey
to provide an opportunity for you to share your opinions.
Please take a moment to complete the survey and participate
in the process of strengthening and energizing our school!
You can access the survey in English or Spanish through the following link:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/csany
Please complete the survey before January 19, 2012.
Only one person in each household needs to complete the survey.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS IMPORTANT EFFORT

Week of December 19th Announcements
I have always thought of Christmas time,
when it has come round, as a good time;
a kind, forgiving, charitable time;
the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year,
when men and women seem by one consent to open
their shut-up hearts freely, and to
think of people below them as if they really were
fellow passengers to the grave,
and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.
~Charles Dickens

Week of December 5, 2011 Announcements
St. Nicholas Day
St. Nicholas Day is celebrated around the world on December 6.
Many of the American traditions mimic the traditions
for St. Nicholas Day in Germany. The children leave out a boot
or a shoe on the evening of the 5th.
And if they have been good and kind throughout the year,
they will awaken to find the boot filled with treats.
Sound familiar?
Yes, the legend of Santa Claus comes from this Saint.
Instead of a boot, it's a sock.
The good little boys and girls get treats for their kindness.
