TEACHER OF THE YEAR
CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Echegaray who is one of three finalists for the Diocese of Indianapolis Saint Theodora Excellence in Education Award.
The Saint Theodora Excellence in Education Award is presented each year to a teacher who represents the best in Catholic education, serving as a model of faith in action, professionalism, high expectations, and proven results of excellent teaching and learning.
That describes Cassie Echegarary perfectly!
REGISTRATION FOR 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR
Registration forms for next school year were sent home last week.
Current Little Flower families have a guaranteed spot for next year if they register by Open House on Sunday, January 29. Already, registrations are far, far ahead of previous years. Please get yours in ASAP.
Reminder, you must be current on all tuition AND extended care payments in order to register.
This year, we are inviting ALL school families to Open House to Celebrate the great things happening in your school. You will have the opportunity to visit your child(ren)'s classroom and see next year's as well. You can see our new gym and stage floors, our new STEM Lab, and meet with community organizations.
Additionally, we invite all our current families to come and welcome new families visiting Little Flower. For most, it is the family environment of our community that is the biggest draw and we want a large, energetic crowd to show our visitors the Little Way.
As an added incentive, registration fees (normally $50 per student) will be half price if you register at Open House!

The Little Way
Every two weeks we take time to discuss one trait of the Little Way and how we can apply it to our lives at LF and beyond. This week we discuss "God is First". To start this year, we refocus on our love of God, our prayer conversations with Him, and our demonstration of this love through our care for others.
If someone says, “I love God,” and yet he hates his brother or sister, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother and sister whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 1 John 4:20
“Humility is admiration for the gifts God has given to others, Reverence for God in others, Recognizing and developing our own gifts for others.”
Five Finger Prayer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IihBCl_A4x4
