This morning we had our first First Friday Prayer Circles of the school year! If you're new to Holy Family or haven't heard about HFE prayer circles, it's such a special thing to get to observe! All students in Kindergarten - 5th grade are shuffled into "prayer circles". Each prayer circle has about 1 student per grade, and the 5th grade student in each circle leads the prayers and discussion! Sometimes the students have a quick project or craft to work on together, or a certain virtue to discuss. They get to pray together and get to know one another through great discussions. It's a wonderful opportunity for the 5th graders to take on the leadership role, and the little ones really look up to those older than them! Each school year, the students are with their same prayer circle group, so they get to build upon this neat bond that they otherwise wouldn't have had with a student in each grade level!
Tomorrow we celebrate St. Francis of Assisi with our annual school Pet Blessing! Feel free to bring your furbabies and little critters up for a special blessing at 2:40 p.m. in the school playground parking lot with the students!
We're currently at $52,565 in our Cajetan Ca$h Fundraiser! We need to see a big push in sales these last few days!! Ticket sales run through this Friday at midnight! Please be sure that your kiddos are turning in their sales sheets each day so that the committee can better track and calculate where we're at!
We have some NEW exciting incentives for the students:
1.) If we hit $70,000, every student will earn a treat pack on the last day of school (Cerv's snoball coupon, McDonald's ice cream cone, Wendy's frosty)
2.) If we hit $80,000, we earn a school-wide PAJAMA DAY!
3.) All families that hit their 50-ticket goal are entered into a new drawing to win $100 cash!
