On Martin Luther King Jr. Day
- “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
- “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?’”
- “The time is always right to do what is right.”
- “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Participate in Family Game Night
Dear Paulo Families,
Family Dinner Night, the initial rollout of our Paulo Families Campaign, was a resounding success. Our next initiative is Family Game Night. See below and the attached flyer for details.
How to participate in three easy steps:
1. Schedule a day over the next 10 days (between Jan. 20 and Jan. 29) and put it on the calendar.
2. Set out some games in preparation. When in doubt, charades is a timeless classic- no set-up required.
3. Set the phones aside, get in the competitive spirit and put on your game face, but remember, it’s only a game focker! J
And if you want to earn an easy service credit, snap a family photo and upload it to this Google Form. The form will close and the opportunity to earn a service credit will end on January 30.
For questions/concerns, please contact our parent coordinator, Ms. Taccetta.
We hope you will partake, and enjoy an evening with those closest to you!
