WEEKLY P.R.E.P. NEWS

Elementary Levels: RESPECT LIFE LESSONS: During the week of January 20, the students will receive lessons which focus on the dignity and value of human life as God’s gift to all of us. All parents will receive a letter regarding these lessons. We hope to celebrate each child’s birthday which recalls the gift of LIFE. We remember to thank God for the precious gift of life and need to show more respect for God’s creation. The boys and girls are asked to bring in birthday cupcakes as we join together to remember ALL LIFE and rejoice together with a birthday celebration. May the Lord bless all those who protect LIFE.
