Little Cougar News
Principal’s Corner
It has been a wonderful two weeks of school. We celebrated our first mass together, Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as a school community yesterday. It was beautiful to be together in church and we were all excited to have the pews in church.
We are looking forward to celebrating our first Monday prayer as a school community next week. During Monday prayer we will discuss a new virtue each week. This week we are focusing on Affability.
We begin our soccer season and GOTR (Girls on the Run) this Monday. Good luck to all our cougars!!
Wishing everyone a blessed weekend!
Dear Lord,
Our children are filled with emotions about this new school year. Fill them with peace instead of worry. Give them courage instead of fear. Strengthen them with your presence as they navigate their way through this school year.
Amen.
