Catholic School Week will be celebrated January 31 through February 5. The theme is “Catholic Schools - Dividends for Life.” This is a time to reflect on what makes us unique. As Catholic schools we focus on our Faith, morals, knowledge, and discipline, all of which help in adult life. On January 31, St. Martin School will have an open house from 12:30-2:00 p.m. All are invited to come and visit our school. Please extend an invitation to your neighbors to come and see what we are all about here at St. Martin. Registration packets for kindergarten and students new to the school will be available at open house. Registration for kindergarten and new students will be February 9, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Our annual Mission Fair for the benefit of St. Julie School in Uganda will be held on Tuesday, February 16, 12:30-2:00 p.m. in our Parish Center. A Mardi Gras theme will be carried out in the booths and prizes. All tickets are twenty-five cents. We invite you to bring your little ones and enjoy the fun. This year our students have already collected money to buy books for the library in the St. Julie School. In December several Notre Dame Sisters from St. Julie’s came to St. Martin and were presented with the books. The sisters also talked to all the students about the mission school in Uganda. The students were very excited to learn about the boys and girls in Africa and how they live and play. Our student council held an out of uniform on January 15 to collect money to help buy soccer balls for the children in Iraq. Also, during Lent, our students will be conducting a Birthday Box Collection so that children and adults who are having financial difficulties will be able to celebrate their own very special day with a cake and some favors. We are very proud and thankful of the thoughtfulness and generosity of our school families. Congratulations to our students, Mary Rust and Teresa Rust, who received scholarships to Mother of Mercy and McAuley High Schools. They have been Admitted with Distinction to McAuley High School. Many of our eighth graders have received grants to Mother of Mercy and LaSalle High Schools. Ryan Lohbeck, grade 8, is our representative to the annual Scripps Spelling Bee. During the month of February and the first part of March, students in grades 3 and 5 will be working on their writing samples. This is a format to analyze their ability to write a story on a specific writing prompt. It is an opportunity to know if our students are writing on level and to find ways to help those who need more instruction. Students in grades7 and8 are preparing for the LaSalle Its Academic Competition in March.

Prayer For Our Children |
|
Jesus, you asked for the little children to be
brought to you: so we bring our children to you in prayer. We ask you to Bless
them to make them strong and healthy. Fill them with your grace and with your
love. Stay with them as they grow to maturity and help them to learn the
virtues of kindness, humility, peace, patience, love, wisdom, and
understanding. May we as their parents and teachers be good examples for them;
Let their friendships be good and valuable; let their knowledge and love for
you continue to grow day by day. Grant them a happy life-now, and in eternity.
Amen. |
