JP2A BOX NIGHT.pdfWe are going to reschedule our Color Run in conjunction with our Halloween Parties on Thursday, October 29. We will have it right at the end of the school day. Families please feel free to join us. There are so many events happening this month between here and at St. Catherine's that are Siena wide that we were having a difficult time getting a later time in.
New Date: Thursday, October 29
New time: 1:30 pm
All students will participate and any families choosing to join us can too.
Today we take advantage of the gorgeous fall weather and gather outside as a school to recite the Rosary together. October is the month of the Rosary and yesterday was the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary. Our middle school students led us in prayer as they formed the beads of the Rosary.
Hoy aprovechamos el magnífico clima otoñal para reunirnos al aire libre como escuela y rezar el Rosario juntos. Octubre es el mes del Rosario y ayer se celebró la fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Rosario. Los alumnos de secundaria guiaron la oración mientras formaban los granos del Rosario.
Thank you for the extra day on the newsletter. I had the privilege of spending the last two days at another Archdiocese school along with Ms. George and Mrs. Hernandez. We were on an accreditation team to help ensure their school is meeting all of the requirements. As I walk away from these visits there I always come home to JPIIA and value who we are and what we have just a bit more.
Tomorrow we will enjoy one of my favorite days here at JPIIA when the pumpkins are in the yard and the joy radiates from the students as they walk through to pick their favorite. This is a day filled with school community as our older students help our younger students with their heavy pumpkin and everyone walks away with a smile.
Gracias por el día adicional para el boletín informativo. Tuve el privilegio de pasar los últimos dos días en otra escuela de la Arquidiócesis junto con la Srta. George y la Sra. Hernández. Formamos parte de un equipo de acreditación encargado de verificar que dicha escuela cumpliera con todos los requisitos. Al concluir estas visitas, siempre regreso a JPIIA valorando un poco más quiénes somos y lo que tenemos.
Mañana disfrutaremos de uno de mis días favoritos en JPIIA: cuando las calabazas llenan el patio y la alegría se refleja en los estudiantes mientras recorren el lugar para elegir su favorita. Es una jornada que fortalece nuestra comunidad escolar, ya que los alumnos mayores ayudan a los más pequeños con sus pesadas calabazas y todos se marchan con una sonrisa.

This week I will highlight shorts.
Our handbook no longer has dates for when shorts are not allowed. Even though shorts are allowed year round students will not be kept inside if they choose to wear shorts on a cold day. Please keep track of the weather and send the students dressed appropriately each day.
Esta semana haré hincapié en el uso de pantalones cortos.
Nuestro manual ya no especifica fechas en las que esté prohibido llevar pantalones cortos. Aunque se permite su uso durante todo el año, los alumnos no permanecerán en el interior si deciden llevarlos en un día frío. Por favor, estén atentos al tiempo y envíen a los alumnos vestidos adecuadamente cada día.
In this section I will post flyers for the Parish, St. Catherine's, outside organizatons, and Racine area events.
En esta sección publicaré folletos de la parroquia, de St. Catherine's, de organizaciones externas y de eventos en el área de Racine.
