SSJ School News

This week our Home and School Association (HSA) held their first general meeting for all school parents/guardians and faculty. The meeting was virtual to allow everyone to “zoom in” from wherever it was convenient. I look forward to working with the HSA this school year as we work toward the common goals of enhancing the education of our students and encouraging a sense of community at Saints Simon and Jude School.

We ended our week with a School Liturgy. Our September Peacemakers were awarded for the virtue of Friendship, following the example of Saint Raphael the Archangel. Following Mass, our students attended a “Blessing of the Kindness Rocks” on Sacred Heart Hill planned by our School Peace Committee. The Kindness Rocks were created in art class where students were taught by our Guidance Counselor about the importance of having empathy and being kind, and the importance of spreading kindness into the community. During the ceremony the students placed their creations in the rock garden next to the Jesus statue. When members of our community go there to pray, they are welcome to take a rock to help inspire them or leave a rock they have created.

Blessings,
Sister Regina Elinich, IHM
