1 ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC SCHOOL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER, 12/7/16 Every day through Advent, the Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Dr. Kathleen Cepelka sends to the leadership in the 100+ Catholic Schools a daily reflection. I find the scripture, prayer and message gives me pause and often, through God s grace, speaks to whatever tasks are facing me for the day. Below is today s Scripture passage and message from Dr. Cepelka: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me for I am gentle and humble of heart My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt. 11:28-30 We are nearing Advent s midpoint in our schools. Programs, concerts, exams, duties, and deadlines may be competing for center stage in our hurried lives. Details are straining for attention against the big picture, the long view, the reason for this holy time. On this 75 th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we reflect on our responsibility as Catholic educators [parents, grandparents, supporters] to be instruments of peace in our day, in our schools, and in our world-- mindful of the One whose work we re doing, whose yoke we bear. Come, Lord Jesus. Our school is filled with signs of the Advent season. There are Advent wreaths, Jesse trees, and candles adorning the hallways. The children are sharing stories of their elves, not sitting on shelves, moving about their homes in anticipation of Christmas. It is a beautiful and holy time of year. I pray Advent provides each of us with the time and space necessary to prepare our hearts for Christmas. Blessings, Dr. Jackie Lichter Advent Wreath Prayer for the Second Week of Advent Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to prepare the ways of Thine only-begotten Son, that through His coming we may be worthy to serve Thee with purified minds. Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen. Together we will teach children to see the world through the eyes of Christ and to model the lives of the Saints in a rigorous academic environment.

SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST: Important tidbits: Parents, when sending in money for field trips, Cardinal Care, hot lunch, tuition, etc. please send payment in an envelope labeled with your child's name and campus. Please do not send in money without an envelope. Money gets transferred from your child, to the teacher, to the office and sometimes from campus to campus. This can easily get lost if it is not in an envelope or if information is not attached. If you do not have an envelope you can use a ziploc baggie with your child's information labeled. Thank you!
