The Alliance Arts Council has provided us with an opportunity to see Martha Hannah, a Medieval Comedienne and Historian. The fourth grade will travel to Grandview on Tuesday and Thursday at 1:00 to see her perform. She will also perform at St. Agnes on Thursday at 2:40 pm, for grades four through eight, in a general assembly.
Volunteers are needed in the lunchroom to help serve lunch. Please call school and volunteer.
Catholic Schools Week is January 28 – Feb. 1. Mrs. Gould and the Catholic Schools Committee have come up with a plan for our students. Stewardship is defined as the grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes and receives God’s gifts in love of God and neighbor. There are four components to stewardship: hospitality, formation, service and prayer. Service is a component of Catholic Schools’ Week (1/28-2/1) that we would like to emphasize this year, and because of that, the committee has assigned each classroom a nursing home or assisted living facility, in the community of Alliance with which to interact. Teachers are asked to contact the activities director at their assigned facility to arrange a time to drop off cards at least once during the month of January. We intended to visit the nursing homes, but with the influenza epidemic, it is best that the elderly and the students do not have a lot of contact. We will send cards or make a craft for the residents.
On the Friday (2/1) of Catholic Schools’ Week, each class will give a report during our assembly, before the 9 AM Mass, about their service experience. Parent’s Inc. has arranged for the students to go to a movie on Tuesday, January 29, at 1 pm at the movie theater. The movie will be Monsters Inc. Refer to your monthly calendar to see a list of what activity is scheduled for each day.
Attached to the January 15 letter is a form for ordering year book ads. If you have been a sponsor in the past, an 8th grader student will be contacting you. If you would like to sponsor, but have not done so before or have not been contacted, please fill out this form and return it to Mrs. Gould or Mrs. McGhehey before January 31.
