The story of the wise men journeying and searching for Jesus is a story which fascinates us even to this day. In addition to the details of the historic trip that we learn from the Gospels, there are also many other opportunities to reflect on this faith journey of three men so long ago and to let it influence our own lives today. Legend tells us that 3 men from different parts of the world journeyed together in search of the newborn king. Their faith journey was not done in isolation but rather in fellowship with one another. As we look at our own faith journey, we too experience it as part of a larger community, our family and our Church. We also are searching for answers, and we also are trying to find Jesus in our lives. In the early days of this New Year, it is our prayer that the star of our Catholic faith will guide us through many happy times in 2010. We can be the wise men and women of today, if we know how much God wants to guide us and protect us now and in the future. Blessings for all during this New Year 2010!

NEWSFLASH

Sign up for NewsFlash on our website (www.staq.org) and receive an e-mail when school is closed due to snow. NewsFlash is a service provided through Teacherweb. When school is cancelled, I will be able to send an e-mail to all parents who subscribe to the service. This is a free service. However, you will need a password to sign-up. Call the office, ask a teacher… However, I will not put it in print. I do not want children having access to this service.
 

CARES

We will continue our Extended Day Program entitled CARES. It is open daily until 6 PM for grades K through fifth, exceptions are made where there is a special circumstance and those considerations are made by both the principal and the pastor. Generally speaking, older students do not want to be in CARES with the younger children and have no one their age for socialization. We will also have CARES on Early Dismissal Days except when it precedes a holiday. CARES before a holiday will be decided as the holiday arises. For those parents who need before school CARES, this will be held in the school. All forms for CARES are on our website.
 

WINTER UNIFORM

The winter uniform regulation began on November 2nd. Please check your handbook for uniform regulations which means shorts or sneakers may not be worn. Some girls are also wearing a uniform that is too short because it is rolled, hemmed, or they have outgrown it. Please remedy this situation. Remember, girls were given the option of wearing uniform pants. A few of our girls have taken that option and they look very nice. If someone is not wearing the uniform pants but comes to school with pants under their uniform because of the cold, that is acceptable. However, students will need to take them off during the day. Hoodies are not part of the original uniform regulation. Last year, students were given the option of wearing the St. Thomas hoodie, their gym sweatshirt, or a plain navy hoodie over their uniform because the building can be cold in some rooms. NO OTHER SWEATSHIRT IS PERMITTED. Students will be required to remove nonregulation sweatshirt/hoodies regardless of the weather.
