Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we reflect this Lenten season, let's keep service in mind.  God asks us to give ourselves and use the gifts that he has given us to serve others.

Pictured above are some of our third graders who participated in a service project during Catholic Schools Week with their seventh grade buddies. The two grades worked together to lovingly make blankets for Project Linus, which provides handmade blankets for children in hospitals.  All of our students lead in service in their school community and participate through grade level service projects.  

Challenge yourself this week to explore your gifts and talents and creatively use them to serve those around you.  Don't forget to join us for our student-led Stations of the Cross on Thursdays at 2:15 p.m. in the Church.
 
It's always a great day to be a Cardinal!
In Peace,

Lauren Lewandowski
St. Cletus School, Principal
