4/28/2020 Morning Message

Good Morning, St. Vincent Families,

This is a good day to be a good day. It may be a little gloomy out, plan for some damp activities outside. There have got to be some worms somewhere. Make sure to balance for sanity sake. Put some Mickey Mouse ears on and tackle the day.

Congratulations to Gianna Peters. her poem below was chosen as first place. We are so proud of you, Gianna. You have a gift with words.

Blessed is the Peacemaker

by: Gianna Peters

Blessed is the peacemaker who cares

Who goes out of there way for others

Who shapes others into better people

Who loves other unconditionally

No matter what others do, say, or attempt

Who is always the best person they could be

Whom we should always look up to

And that peacemaker is Jesus

Math We are still getting some students using HomeConnect and getting frustrated because they aren’t able to test. Math progress in Accelerated Math and in Math Facts in a Flash work best when students use the Renaissance hosted site that can be accessed on our Assumption Catholic Schools Website (RenPlace). AM tests cannot be taken on HomeConnect. Levels in Math Facts in a Flash cannot be passed on HomeConnect. We know that students are used to working on HomeConnect when at home during the normal school year, however, we need to make the change to doing it on the hosted site.

SV Parent Survey Check In

At the beginning of our journey I had sent a survey out to the families. Thank you for your feedback. We trust that any issues we could help with, have been taken care of. However, here is a check-in to just make sure things are going the way they need to be going. We care about every single one of you and will do everything in our power to assist.

Children’s Mass and Opportunities Fr. Becker will be celebrating Children’s Mass Wednesdays at 9:00am on the Assumption Catholic Schools Facebook Page. Please join us and send up some hearts. Youth Mass will be celebrated on Thursdays at 9:00 on the same page. It’s so important to participate in the prayer activities with your family. Have you tried this website yet? Teaching Catholic Kids It offers great ideas to instill Jesus at a time of anxiety, as well as everyday life.

Please Record for Morning Announcements

We have quite a few days left to fill in. Students, are you ready now? If you would like to send your Vocaroo (send me the link) with an introduction including your name, our pledge, an awesome prayer, and an inspirational message to our school community, that would be totally awesome. Click on this link for the template.

ABC Countdown has begun Today is Disney Day, really this time. Yesterday was supposed to be crazy hair day, but I was ahead of myself. Anyone losing track of dates yet?

Song of the Day

Quite often at our after school prayer service we have music playing please Well Done by Moriah Peters. Be ready to dance and clap along! If you have any songs you would like to share, please send it along.

Peace to you and wash your hands,

Mrs. Fochs
