Education requires parents, teachers, and

child/student to work together in cooperation;

a weakness in any one of these decreases the

efficiency of the others while inhibiting the

success and development of the child/student.

Notes from our Principal:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our

OMMS parents who found time to join us for our

first GENERAL PARENT MEETING, we hope you

found it informative! We also would like to extend

our gratitude to our very creative, energetic PTG

Committee members who provided such a wonderfularray of food that naturally led all to nibbleand chat

before the meeting.

We thank our representatives from Mission Federal

Credit Union for their time, information and for

adding a little excitement via a surprise donation

for our evening raffle! Three families (parents) left

with a little more in their hands and a smile on their

face as they departed for the evening or to pick-up

their children from their fun evening thanks to

Ms. Gloria and four OMMS eighth grade students.

Our guest speaker was well received; he commented

on the turnout and said he really enjoyed the

enthusiasm and atmosphere of cooperation he

witnessed at our school. Toward the end of the

evening he specifically asked about tuition, as his

children had attended catholic school. When I

shared OMMS current tuition fee he remarked it

was much lower than what he paid for tuition at which

point I responded that our parents are involved as

well as creative!

Many parents have already determined what

interests them and what gifts they can share with

our community at OMMS; have you? If not why not

consider being part of a committee; not certain what

committees are available then why not consider

contacting your Room Parent(s), or a member of the

PTG Committee, or you are welcome to contact the

office! All of us greatly appreciate the energy,

enthusiasm and sense of community that was

demonstrated throughout the meeting and we arelooking forward to a GREAT year!

Saint John of CapistranoSt. John of Capistrano (1386-1456) was an Italian Franciscan priest. He was born in the Kingdom of Naples

and studied law at Perugia, got married, and became a magistrate. During a war, he was sent as a peace

ambassador but was thrown in prison, and during this time realized that he was called to be a priest. He and

his wife had never consummated their marriage, so they separated, and John entered the Franciscans. He

applied himself to a life of extreme asceticism and developed a reputation as a powerful preacher, in Italy as

well as in countries such as Germany and Poland. So great were the crowds who came to hear him that nochurch could hold them, and he had to preach outdoors. In addition to preaching, John fought heresy

through his writing and led an army against an invasion of Turks. He survived the battle but died of bubonic

plague in 456. Saint John of Capistrano is the patron saint of those in the legal profession. The famous

Mission San Juan Capistranois named for him.

St. John Capistrano, pray for us.

All parents were provided a hand-out prior to the

meeting. The hand-out contained a little information

about fundraising, where your money goesand why it

is so important. For those who were not able to

attend we have also included this hand-out in todays

newsletter.

An item to share..

A wonderful opportunity and an additional benefit

came from our Scholastic Book Fair Fundraisersand through our combined accumulated points.

With these points we were able to obtain three

additional Smart Boards; then two other families

came forward with the speakers and projectors.

Furthermore with the remaining points we were

able to order a new portable sound system for

OMMS (has not yet arrived). Plus through other

parents/contacts we were blessed with another

three Smart Boards.WOW. The Smart Boards

represent one component of the complete package

for an operable system and we are working oncompleting to have six fully operable systems!

Many, many, blessings to begin a new year.
