Dear St. Rene Parent/Guardian,
Our students began the year working together, sharing a prayer for peace, and learning to be peacemakers in our world. We celebrated the angels in our lives with our Guardian Angel mass where we thanked all those who care for us here on earth. In October, we remembered the life of our patron, St. Rene, and we celebrated his life by sharing kindness with others. During Red Ribbon week the students gave their problems and worries to God by writing letters.
In November, we remember those in our family who have passed away by creating a Remembrance Tree. This tree contains leaves with the names and pictures of our family members and friends who have died. The tree reminds us that we are part of a family, and that the love we share for our family and for God brings us together.
Now we are asked to show our love for God, by helping the poor and hungry. As Jesus commanded his disciples to feed the five thousand, we are asked to help feed the hungry in our world. We fulfill this need through our support of the 6 th grade food drive held during the month of November.
As this first trimester comes to a close, we reflect with pride on all that our students have accomplished, but most especially for the gifts of peace, kindness, and caring that they bring to our world
Sincerely,
Paula Calvert, Principal
