Our Twitter feed has exploded... And in a GOOD way! If you haven't already done so, follow us on Twitter at @St_JohnXXIII Also, follow our hashtag #StJ23Awesome! We have most of our staff connected via Twitter and it is a GREAT way to stay in touch with up-to-date "LIVE" stuff occurring in our school! Let's celebrate learning and spread the "Good News" with each other.
# ChallengeAccepted
Our EICS #ChallengeAccepted Monthly Faith Challenge is to Pray the Rosary! We encourage you to pray the Rosary on your own or with your family and allow Mary to lead us all closer to her son Jesus!
Here is a great place to start: http://www.pbgrace.com/9-tips-for-praying-the-rosary-with-kids/
Let's Keep it Healthy :)
Healthy Celebrations - Administrative Procedure (AP) on Healthy Food Choices at School
EICS is committed to creating and supporting school environments that promote wellness and encourage healthy eating for all members of the school communities including staff, students and their families.
A new AP has been devised to assist us in adhering to this plan. Parents, while we understand celebrations such as birthdays, Halloween, etc... are fantastic excuses for us to indulge a bit, we kindly ask that you help us in supporting this initiative. Instead of cupcakes for birthdays, feel free to send in a fruit tray or a book for the class library instead. Similarly, for Halloween, we are asking that Teachers will also communicate this in their classroom news and offer you better ways to celebrate in their individual classrooms. Feel free to peruse the AP by clicking the link:
