Go Forth and Be Cool

10/16/2018

During the school mass on Monday, October 15th, Father Tim taught everyone how to be COOL. To be COOL we have to be:
C-caring for all of God’s creations, which include ourselves.
O-obedient to God by being God’s representatives, to our parents at home and to our teachers in school
O-open to God through prayers, by going to mass and by reading the Bible
L-loving to one another as it is what Jesus wants us to do

Being COOL is having Jesus in us. He should be driving our lives.

September Kindness Award

10/16/2018

Ayman displayed compassion and unselfishness when he paid attention to a classmate’s needs. Even though Ayman was enjoying a game with friends, he noticed a classmate standing alone and asked a simple, yet very important question: “Would you like to play with us?” Being kind only takes seconds, but can make someone’s day better. Continue spreading Kindness, Ayman. Congratulations.
