PRINCIPAL POSTINGS:

Today we place ashes on our foreheads to mark the beginning of Lent. We do this to remind ourselves that we have

entered into a period of fasting, almsgiving and prayer. At school we will begin each day with a reflection on a saint

followed by a prayer. The children have also written on a prayer chain, a personal intention that will be read aloud.

As a class, the children will offer that intention up to the Lord in prayer. We have decorated and put away the “word”

Alleluia until we sing it again at Easter. Each day we will offer 5 minutes of silent lunch as a way of “fasting.” Be-

ginning Monday, we will have a week long penny war. The money from our penny war will support three different

student and teacher generated causes and each grade level will focus on a Catholic Social Teaching that speaks to the

cause.

Our primary grades (3 year olds-2nd grade) will learn about Dignity of the Human Person and respect for life.

They will donate the money generated to a family in our own school community who is suffering in a big way

and needs our help. “Belief in the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all Catholic social

teaching. Human life is sacred, and the dignity of the human person is the starting point for a moral vision for

society.”

Our intermediate grades (3rd-5th) will learn about Rights and Responsibility. They will donate the money gen-

erated to the Shalom Center. “Every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required

for human decency – starting with food, shelter and clothing, employment, health care, and education.” Our middle school grades (6th-8th) will learn about Solidarity. They will donate the money generated to the

Marion Fathers in Kibeho, Rwanda to purchase “LifeStraws” that filter out harmful bacteria from drinking

water. “We are one human family. Our responsibilities to each other cross national, racial, economic and ideo-

logical differences. We are called to work globally for justice.”

In addition to the fasting and almsgiving, the children and adults will enter into a time intentional prayer through Ad-

oration, the Stations of the Cross, Rosary and finally our all school Pilgrimage. We ask you to join us in prayer this

Lent.

A few housekeeping items:

We are once again offering a variety of teacher led camps this summer. More information is coming soon on those

ASCS camps. This year we are also hosting a “Camp Invention” for grades 1-6 and a “Project Invention” for grades

7-9. This is a nationally recognized camp. The camp will be taught by ASCS teachers and we are seeking High

School students to volunteer for the camp as well. Information can be found in the newsletter. Registration is open

and a discount code is listed on the flyers.

Also, please be mindful of any balances you are carrying on your hot lunch account. While a few dollars doesn’t seem

like a lot to one family, when we add it together it accumulates to a “few” thousand dollars to our school family!

Mrs. Feudner spends a lot of time making calls and emailing families to collect the money. She is also working on our

school auction which takes hours of time. Please pay your past due balances.

Blessings,

Dr. Jackie Lichter

Hot Lunch Balances Did you know … your account should have a positive balance before your child takes a lunch? Did you know... ASCS school families hot lunch accounts are past due $1827.00?

Did you know.... if your account is past due $10.00 multiply that by 435 families, it adds up quickly!

I ask that you please be diligent in checking your parent Option C account weekly. Id's and

passwords were given in your packet during the summer along with material on how to

check/understand your account. If you need your parent id and password again, please

contact me and I can provide that to you.

As we near the end of the school year all accounts need to be in the positive. Thank you to

all the families that continue to keep track of your child(ren's) lunch accounts.

"The fast of Lent has no advantage to

us unless it brings about our spiritual

renewal. It is necessary while fasting

to change our whole life and practice

virtue. Turning away from all wicked-

ness means keeping our tongue in

check, restraining our anger, avoiding

all gossip, lying and swearing. To ab-

stain from these things— herein lies

the true value of the fast."

— St. John Chrysostom
