02-24-2023Notes from the PrincipalMrs. Jamie Bescak

Dear Parents,

This week began our Lenten season with Kindergarten leading the school in "resting" the Alleluia banner. It is so-called as a way to teach the younger students that we refrain from singing the Alleluia during Lent and that it will be "resurrected" with Jesus at Easter.

K–8 students gathered with St. Benedict parishioners for Ash Wednesday Mass while our student choir sang beautiful traditional hymns with absolute reverence and love for Jesus. Following Mass, Fr. Manasseh, Deacon Ed, and the preschool teachers performed an Ash Wednesday skit for the preschool students to give them a better understanding of how we say “Yes to Jesus” during Lent. They then received ashes on their foreheads, just like the "big kids."

And don’t forget! Since we achieved our gala goal, the entire SJB community is invited to attend “Paint the Principal” Tuesday, February 28 at 2:00pm in our courtyard. Students will be given blue and yellow paint to paint Mrs. Bescak in our school colors! You won’t want to miss this colorful event!
