Today's Reading

Third Sunday of Easter
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven,
raised his voice, and proclaimed:
"You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem.
Let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
You who are Israelites, hear these words.
Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God
with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs,
which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God,
you killed, using lawless men to crucify him.
But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death,
because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
For David says of him:
I saw the Lord ever before me,
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted;
my flesh, too, will dwell in hope,
because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.
You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.
"My brothers, one can confidently say to you
about the patriarch David that he died and was buried,
and his tomb is in our midst to this day.
But since he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him
that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ,
that neither was he abandoned to the netherworld
nor did his flesh see corruption.
God raised this Jesus;
of this we are all witnesses.
Exalted at the right hand of God,
he received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father
and poured him forth, as you see and hear."

If they have any questions they should contact their teachers or Mrs. Uebersax.

Attendance Reminder!
This is a friendly reminder to parents and students regarding personal absences. Absence forms must be completed (all signatures including  Mr. Gutilla's) and returned to the front office 48 hours before the absence in order for it to be excused. We are starting to see a number of students turning in absence forms either the day of or the day before they are going to be absent from school. The school handbook clearly states that in order for absences to be excused the office must receive the absence form 48 hours before the absence occurs.

Do your students know how to balance time spent online & offline?
As parents, it can feel like your children are spending too much time in front of the screen. From homework to video games to social media and beyond, there are so many opportunities for tweens and teens to have  an excessive amount of screen time. It's important to help students find a healthy balance between time spent online and offline. Sometimes that's easier said than done.
