News for GLVN Volunteers (Thông Tin cho Thầy Cô GLVN)
Wonderful Blessings!
The only words I have to say this week are THANK YOU!!!
It's been a crazy 2 weeks preparing for the first day of class with students and for our first-ever Open House with parents. Thank you for all the extra energy, enthusiasm and efforts to make it a great first 2 weeks.
We had a lot of excitement in the school as students gathered for their opening rally and as parents saw the renovated school facility and met with all of you.
As with any new initiative, there's always something to improve on. I would love to get your insights and feedback on how the Open House went in the classrooms for you and the parents. We'd also like to get a sense of how many parents came to visit yoụ Also, please share with us any suggestions and feedback parents had about the GLVN program. We appreciate if you can fill out this brief survey: OPEN HOUSE SURVEY
Just an FYI that I will be out of town this weekend, so will not be at GLVN on Sunday. Ban Điều Hành is available to support you, and if you didn't notice, we also have an awesome volunteer team in the office: Thảo, Lộc, Phương, and Hùng. Don't hesitate to ask them for support on anything you might need.
Any major questions or concerns that you have for me can be directed to Anh Bảo or Chị Nương in my absence. Also, please see more details below on a new request process we'd like to try to help us facilitate more timely responses to all requests from teachers and parents.
Have a blessed weekend!
In Christ,
Chi

New Process for Requests
- TEACHER REQUESTS: On the wall between the principal's office and the GLVN office, we have placed a clipboard that has a Teacher Request Form on it. By documenting your request here, we hope that it will help us process and complete your requests better and in a more timely manner.
The chart will be checked by the GLVN throughout Sunday, and we will address each request as best we can.
Any urgent requests that need an answer right away, please send a text message to Chi at 763-639-4566 with your name and the request. We will try our best to respond right away, but we appreciate your patience.
- PARENT REQUESTS: In the principal's office on the desk, we have placed a binder that has a Parent Request Form in it. Please document the request in this binder. Be as detailed as possible. Let the parent know that the request has been submitted to the office, and we will get back to them as soon as possible.
Prayers of Gratitude
Please pray for our students' families and all of our GLVN supporters! They love you guys!
Morning Prayer Together
Don't forget to join us exactly at 9:45 a.m. each Sunday morning in the Teacher's Lounge for morning prayer together. It will be brief (2-3 minutes) so that you can get to your classrooms before 10. Whether there are 30 of us or just 2 of us -- this brief prayer time will take place every Sunday, so please join in to offer up our day to Jesus!
All-School Prayer for 2016-2017
One of the suggestions that was submitted during our July teacher workshop was to choose an all-school prayer that we would all learn together. What a great idea and a great way to unite us all in prayer as a GLVN program!
The prayer was printed in English for you to hang in your rooms last week. This week we will have a Vietnamese translation of the prayer for you to post and pray as well. Please pick it up in your mailbox on Sunday morning! (Reminder the GLVN catechist mailbox is in Resource Center 1)
St. Thomas Aquinas Daily Prayer
Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.

Our volunteer profiles are up in the main hallway near the gym! Not only are these great for parents and kids to get to know all of you, but it's a great way for us to get to know one another as a Catechist team as well.
- Can you guess which of our catechists enjoy DIY projects? There are quite a few!
- How about which catechist enjoys watching romantic comedies?
- And who really looks to St. Damian for prayers and intercessions?

If you haven't turned in a profile, please do so and send to Thảo (ttlam089@gmail.com) and she will put it all together and post up on the wall.
