Weekly Reminders - Elementary K-3 Campus March 29-April 1, 2010

Holy Week
Throughout the next four days each classroom will focus on the significance of this week in our Catholic Faith. As we prepare for the Last Supper, Jesus' Death on the Cross, and His Glorious Resurrection we remember that this is the MOST IMPORTANT week in our faith.

Throughout Lent your child's class has gone to church every week for the Stations of the Cross. This is a beauitful tradition in our Catholic Faith to help us remember the last day of Jesus' life on earth. Ask your child to tell you about one of the stations he remembers best.

For the past few years we have been in school on Good Friday and have had a Prayer Service. This year, we will not be in school on Friday and will not be having any school-wide services at church.
We encourage everyone to check with your parish and attend the Holy Week services offered.

Every year during Holy Week all of the OCS Schools participate in a Food Drive, sponsored by the National Honor Society at Owensboro Catholic High.

All proceeds will go to the Sts. Joseph and Paul pantry. NHS Students will pick up all items on Thursday.


We will be taking orders for the Elementary Yearbook now through April 16. If you would like to have one, please fill out the envelope and send it to school with $15.

Also attached to the newsletter you will find information about ordering Summer Bridge Workbooks for your child. The Teachers Aide Store is offering these to the schools at a discounted price. These are terrific workbooks to keep children's minds "sharp" throughout the summer months. We will be offering a special incentive/prize to students who complete the workbooks over the summer and return them to school!
