Memorized Prayer
All the Middle Schoolers are memorizing eight prayers this year. (Two per quarter)
Friday, September 20, is the due date for the first prayer. Many students have already memorized and said their first prayer for me already. I'm glad they are not waiting until the last minute. Each student has two identical packets of prayers. (One for school and one for home.) The students also have a yellow log sheet for the prayers they are choosing to memorize. These prayers are counted in their grades and each day they are late there will be 10 pts. off.
Service Hours
All Middle Schoolers also have a Service Hours Log Sheet. The instructions for their required two hours of service hours per quarter is in their Rel. folder. They will also be graded on this.
Worksheet Packets
Each class started their worksheet packet for the Introductory Chapter of their Religion book. Their tests will only be over the material that is in the worksheet packet.
Prayer Table
Each of our homerooms have a special place for our prayer table. This year we have holy water in little bowls to make the Sign of the Cross as we enter and leave each classroom. This is a wonderful tradition that has been revised here at Holy Spirit. Back in the day every classroom had a holy water font right inside each door of each classroom. On my trip to Ireland in 2010, every Bed and Breakfast had a holy water font right inside their front door. It would be great if you would consider this at home.
God Bless You All,
Mrs. Gutzwiller
