“Each of you has received a gift
to use to serve others.” 1 Peter 4:10
Dear St. Mary Families,
Spiritual
What is your gift? Can your children see your gift? Do your children believe that God, Our Father, has gifted them and that they should be searching for that gift. Do they know that their gift is to be used to serve others?
God does challenge us in our life and when we ask Him, to help us understand his wisdom, he will bless our entire community by enabling us to share our unique gift with all we meet.
Blessed are we when we recognize our God given responsibility! Blessed are those who know what on earth they are on earth to do and set themselves about the business of doing it!
Academic
Thank you for a great beginning at our Back to School Night! Remember to continue to build positive Home and School relationships as we move through the year. Try to talk to each other – texting and email do not count!!
I am happy to say that we sent last year’s Terra Nova results home in an envelope with your children today. Please review and if you have any questions please “talk” with your child’s teacher!
