Newsletter October 3rd

Dear Families,

What a gift it has been to have Jodee Blanco with us all afternoon today. I hope that many of you can join us tonight. She’s given amazing presentations, and the Holy Spirit has really been in our midst. Today at my Principal meeting, I was reminded that the work that we do is fragile as educators, as are the children in our care. The work you do as parents is also fragile work. Not a one of us is perfect. But we all have the capacity to be saints in the making, as our faith, and baptism calls us to be. Tonight really speaks to what it means to seek to understand. As people of faith, we are called to be both windows and mirrors for our children; avenues to look out and see the broader world (windows), and opportunities for our children to see themselves in our choices and in our actions (mirrors). We are all fragile in many ways, just as windows and mirrors themselves are, but our children are a gift and reflections of God; every single one of them, precious and in His image. How often do we pause to recall this? Sometimes? Often? Never? Always? As you come tonight with open hearts, open minds and open ears, I invite you to seek to understand, and to look at ways that we can be both windows and mirrors for our children of today, to make a brighter tomorrow through our example, through our grace, through our compassion, and the ways in which we strive to grow, even as adults.
