Children Learn What They Live
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilt.
If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world.

Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous or boastful;
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own ways;
It is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrong.
But rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.
Love never ends...
So Faith,
Hope,
Love abide,
These three;
But the greatest of these is Love.

Catholic Schools Week 2012
There are 132,656 private and public schools in the United States,
according to Department of Education statistics.
Of those, 6,980 are Catholic elementary or secondary schools. What sets these Catholic schools apart from the pack?
Three things, say educators, parents and community leaders:
faith, academics and service.
So, fittingly, the 2012 Catholic Schools Week theme
focuses on these three priorities.
Children are taught faith—not just the basics of Christianity,
but how to have a relationship with God.
Academics, which in Catholic schools are held to very high standards,
help each child reach his or her potential.
Service, the giving of one’s time and effort to help others,
is taught both as an expression of faith and good citizenship.
The annual observance starts the
last Sunday in January and runs all week, which is January 29 to February 5.
Monday January 30th - Open House--8:30 AM-11:00 AM
Parents may visit classrooms and see the everyday
teaching and learning.

A time limit of 10 minutes per parent will be set
by teachers so that all parents may see their child's
teacher. Appointments will be set up by the teacher
at the Parent Teacher Conference should further
discussion be needed.
Many report cards will be held due to AIS forms and
they will be available at the teacher conference.
As a reminder tuition must be up to date for child to
receive report card.

So often people say that we should look to the elderly,
learn from their wisdom, their many years.
I disagree, I say we should look to the young:

no poison, no hatred in their hearts.
When we learn to see life through the eyes of a child,
that is when we become truly wise.
(Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta )
