Principal's Newsletter
From the Desk of Ms. Clark
March 28, 2019
Dear Parents,
During our Lenten journey, we are reminded that it is not about grand gestures, but rather small acts of kindness, small steps made in faith, and small displays of love and solidarity. Our students are reminded that each kind act does not necessarily make an immediate, large impact. But as we keep walking in Jesus' footsteps, our actions can add up. The world will can witness God’s love when we share it with others.
During the month of April, we celebrate the fruit of the Holy Spirit called gentleness. We teach our students that gentleness is a strong hand with a soft touch. It is a tender, compassionate approach toward others' weaknesses and limitations. We pray that our gentleness will be evident to all we meet.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10) Let God enable our inner gentleness and kindness in all we are and do!
God’s blessings,
Ms. Clark
