REGISTRATION FOR 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR

Registration forms for next school year will be sent home this week. Current Little Flower families have a guaranteed spot for next year if they register by Open House on Sunday, January 29.

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!

TUITION PAYMENTS

Families who chose OPTION 2 for their 2022-23 tuition payments were mailed their second invoice at the beginning of December, and your payment is due in full this Friday, January 13, 2023. This is only for those families who still need to make their second tuition payment of the school year. Please contact Sandy Clegg atsclegg@littleflowerparish.org or 317-357-8352 ext. 104 if you have any questions.



Flu season, along with RSV and COVID, is hitting hard right now. If your children are not feeling well, please keep them home. If they have a fever they may not return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT MEDICATION. I realize it can be inconvenient, but it is for the health and well being of all our children.



Come join CYO for our annual Bingo Night on January 21, 2023, at Primo Banquet Hall (2615 National Ave. Indianapolis, IN 46227). You must be 21 to attend. The evening includes dinner, beer, wine, soft drinks, snacks and 10 games of Bingo. Register online at CYOARCHINDY.ORG by January 11, 2023. Come have a great time with family and friends while helping support all that CYO has to offer.

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
