| | | |  | | The Second Grade Bronco Botics Team met this week to get started on Boomtown Build, this year's FIRST LEGO League Jr. theme and challenge. The team named themselves the STM Boomtown Broncos and are VERY excited to be working together on their first builds.
Thank you to Maura Devlin-Clancy, Bronco Botics Jr. team coach, for providing photos for this week's collage! | | | Dear Parents: During yesterday's assembly the students in grades 1-8 had an opportunity to learn about the Missionary Childhood Association and the work that it does throughout the world. The focus of the Association is "children helping children" and one of its primary goals is to teach children worldwide that everyone has something to give through both prayer and personal sacrifice. Students learn the importance of individual prayer and simple ways to pray for the Missions. This year the Lenten Season begins on Ash Wednesday, February 27 and runs until Easter Sunday, April 12. Just as Jesus fasted and prayed in the desert for 40 days and nights we too are asked to spend 40 days in preparation for the Resurrection of Jesus at Easter.
Today students will receive a prayer card, a rosary and a lenten collection box to help them on their lenten journey. Please take time to help your child plan prayer opportunities and make some personal sacrifices during Lent. | | SAVE THE DATE: Meeting with Parkmerced and city agencies on Thursday, March 12 at 6pm This is a follow up meeting regarding the traffic changes on Brotherhood Way and the removal of the current footbridge. I have been told that several new options are being considered. I urge you to attend the meeting and have your voice heard in regard to the safety of all our students and families.
