As the Christmas season draws to a close, we turn the page on the calendar and begin a new year. Think about the endless possibilities of a new year...

We can't help but feel hopeful and optimistic about what the new year will bring, even in the face of uncertainty.

And this is the Christian vision of life: to live in joyful hope. Even though the veil of the future is lifted one day at a time, we trust in the assurance of our faith that "all will be well". Jesus promised us that He would be with us always...to "be not afraid" of what the future may hold.

And so, just as the seeds that lie burried beneath the snow, we trust that the sun (and the Son) will always be there to nourish and warm us and lead us to the fullness of life, renewed each day, and each season.

May this new year bring many blessings to all!


In Religion, the students are learning about envangelization and our call to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and action. When one of the fifth grade students responded to the question "what does this mean", she replied, "We have to work the Gospel".
What an amazing insight from a ten year old! It's not enough to simple preach the Gospel, we have to "work" it too! 


In Math, we are using a new series, "iReady Classroom Mathematics". This series is aligned with the i-Ready online program and the Next Generation Standards. 

Students are reminded to check Google Classroom daily for all assignments and notifications of upcoming events and due dates.
