This year the Auxillary put on a singing contest. Students sent a video of themselves sending the National Anthem. 2nd grader Paisley Huck took 2nd place.

Our virtue for the month of April is Humility. Ways to teach children humility:

- Model the behavior...

- Build them up...

- Encourage kids to admit mistakes...

- Promote understanding of others' perspectives

- Discourage the attitude of entitlement

- Foster appreciation towards life...

- Willingness to control pride...

- Expand sense of self...

- Knowing they can always improve...

Continue to pray for our 8th graders as they are preparing for Confirmation. They have been sharing information about the patron saint that they have chosen during morning announcements.

The school will be open after all of the Masses this weekend. Come on in and see the plans for the 1938 building. Building committee members will be on hand to answer questions. The students were all a buzz reading the display that Mrs. Hoog put up in the cafeteria. I look forward to seeing you after Mass.

Blessings,

Debra Klahs, Principal
