This week, we participated in Hour of Code across the grade levels and will continue to explore coding over the next few weeks. the children truly enjoyed learning a new skill.
The second week of Advent begins this Sunday. Here is a prayer from Catholic Spirit to help us prepare and reflect.
Father in heaven, during this second week of Advent, help us see clearly the times when we have sinned. Accept our sorrow for having pulled away from you, and give us firm resolve to stay close to you.
God above, help us conduct ourselves in holiness. We long to be the people you expect us to be. Help us as we strive to make our souls spotless and our hearts and minds at peace.
Help us, Lord, to remember that we were baptized for a reason. Help us realize our baptismal call to live as children of God.
And dear God, don’t let us miss chances this week to be welcoming to other people and to work in harmony with everyone. Help us as we try to change our ways so that we are good examples of people who love and follow the Lord.
Just a reminder that we have a half day this Wednesday so that our teachers can attend science professional development.
