APRIL 2014
Our Virtue in April: Love
In our hearts let us create a sanctuary,
A sacred place
Where we can hear the voice
Of the Holy One of God Say to us:
“Be not afraid, you are my beloved,
I have carved your name
On the palm of my hand.”
You are blessed so that you can bless;
You are graced so that you can become grace;
You are enlightened so that you can enlighten;
You are loved so that you can love;
You have been taught so that you can now teach my Word. Amen

EARTH DAY
April 22nd is when the world celebrates Earth Day and people get involved in helping the
environment. Earth Day began when people realized that it was time to start taking better care
of the planet. It is a special day when everyone can help to make the planet a cleaner and
better place to live. The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22nd in 1970. In 1990 Canada
joined the rest of the world to celebrate our special Earth that God has given to us to take care
of. What will you do for the planet this Earth Day?
School Council News!
Lates
Thank you to our School Council for hosting a great
family movie night on March 6th. We had a lot of family
join us that evening.
School Council raised $300.65 on snack sales, which will
be donated to ShareLife on behalf of the St. Maria
Goretti Community.
The Jazzy Jar Fundraiser was a lot of fun and we raised
$734.34. Thank you for all of your support, once again.
The next School Council Meeting is April 9th at 3:10 p.m.
New members are always WELCOME!!!
A number of our students continue
to arrive late daily. Please make every
effort to get your children to school on
time.
Late arrivals cause disruption to the
other students and also to the teacher
who may have begun his/her lessons for
the day.
Developing good work habits and time
management skills can maximize a
child’s learning potential.
Let’s work together to develop these
skills!

identity and distinctive contributions of Catholic education during Catholic Education Week.
Catholic Education Week is scheduled for the week of May 4 – May 9, 2014. This year's theme is
"Serving in the Love of Christ”. The scriptural passage that guides our theme is: ‘I am among you
as one who serves.’ (Luke 22:27e)
This year’s five sub-themes, one for each of the five days of Catholic Education Week, help
students to understand the rich meaning of this year’s theme:
