"Thank you, Lord, for your new beginnings and unwavering provision. I trust that your peace will watch over me as I step into a new year".
Welcome back JPIIA families. It is great to feel the energy back in the building. We are off to a great start to the new year and things are busy this month of January. This Friday is very important to have all students in the building for our second semester count day. Count day is when we report our attendance to DPI which will provide our funding for the remainder of the school year. Students will be able to dress out of uniform on Friday. Next week we begin STAR testing as well as close out the second quarter. January 26th is our Open House, Art Fair, and Pancake Breakfast. January 27th-31st is Catholic Schools Week which will be filled with a variety of events.
Bienvenidas de nuevo familias JPIIA. Es genial sentir la energía nuevamente en el edificio. Hemos tenido un gran comienzo de año nuevo y las cosas están ocupadas este mes de enero. Este viernes es muy importante tener a todos los estudiantes en el edificio para nuestro día de conteo del segundo semestre. El día del conteo es cuando informamos nuestra asistencia al DPI, quien proporcionará nuestros fondos para el resto del año escolar. Los estudiantes podrán vestirse sin uniforme el viernes. La próxima semana comenzaremos las pruebas STAR y cerraremos el segundo trimestre. El 26 de enero es nuestra jornada de puertas abiertas, feria de arte y desayuno de panqueques. Del 27 al 31 de enero es la Semana de las Escuelas Católicas que estará llena de una variedad de eventos.

Physical health and mental health compliment and influence one another. If you have had a poor attitude during a time you were under the weather, then you know what I am talking about. Improving your attitude will improve your physical health. Research shows that happy people are healthier. Eating healthy and exercising to minimize physical ailments will give you a reason to be happy.
A quantum physicist will tell you that your cells communicate with each other so if one cell has a cancer message, it will spread to other cells. This is true with emotions and holding onto negative emotions too long can spread to the cells in the form of disease. This does not mean everyone who has cancer, caused it. It does mean that the power of prayer and a positive attitude has a real effect on our physical health.
