Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

Honor the sacred.
Honor the Earth, our Mother.
Honor the Elders.
Honor all with whom we
share the Earth:-
Four-leggeds, two-leggeds,
winged ones,
Swimmers, crawlers,
plant and rock people.
Walk in balance and beauty.
(Native American Elder)

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

Social Justice Awareness Week is underway. Our focus for the week is on Catholic Social Teachings as they relate to the needs of the elderly.

Tomorrow, we gather after 1st period for an all school assembly to hear Dr. Mahmoud El-Kati, African American Elder, lecturer, writer and commentator.

We will be selling Dr. Kent Nerburn’s books through next Monday. If you wish to purchase a book, please see or e-mail Ms. Hodapp in Lasallian Ministry. 10th grade students will be required to purchase and read Neither Wolf Nor Dog over the summer so, now would be a good time to do so…the value of a book increases with the author’s signature.

See Ms. Kocourek or Anders Jenson with any questions.
