"Our focus for March is “Faithfulness”. Being faithful and full of faith are really two related but different things. It is important that we are faithful in the way we live our lives. Sometimes it is important to be faithful in “small things” to be able to stand up and be faithful in big things..."

"Lent begins today. The Church gives us these forty days to prepare for Easter. This models the forty days Jesus spent in the desert..."

"The Fruit of the Holy Spirit for this month is Love. Scripture makes it very clear that love is the key to our faith. God’s love of us preconditions everything. Jesus makes this very clear in the greatest Commandment: 'Love one another as I have loved   you.'..."

" I hope that this note finds you rested from the long weekend. A lot has happened since our last Rampage. Perhaps the most important is the tragedy of the earthquake in Haiti. A 7.0 earthquake would be destructive in a well-prepared area such as the western United States or Japan, but in a poor and underdeveloped nation like Haiti, it is devastating..."

"Our faith focus for January is gentleness as a fruit of the Holy Spirit. We just celebrated Christmas and this past weekend the visit of the wise men to Jesus in Bethlehem. It is important to note that being gentle does not mean being weak..."

"We are using the concept of goodness for our focus in November. I have three suggestions for you to consider this month..."

"During the month of October we are focusing on kindness as a fruit of the Holy Spirit. The old saying of “practice random acts of kindness” is a good one for us to follow..."

"Our focus for this month has been patience. I’m beginning to understand how hard it is to be patient! We worked hard on many school improvement issues last year. While progress is being made, things always take longer than planned and other issues seem to get in the way of the big things..."

This is the first edition of our Parent Teacher Organization newsletter.

"The saying goes, “Patience is a virtue.” Each month we focus on one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. As we start the month of September we are challenged to look at the role of patience in our lives..."
