Postural (scoliosis) screenings will be conducted on
Tuesday, February 4, 2020

A form will be coming home with your child. If your child is currently under postural treatment OR you wish to not have your child screened, please complete the form and return to school by Monday 2/3/2020.
All students WILL be screened unless otherwise noted or indicated by a parent.
If you have questions or concerns, you can contact the school nurse at 937-433-3746.

Enrich Your Faith &
Your Life This Lent!
Starting this weekend in the Atrium and on-line, we will be offering you the opportunity to register for a special program during Lent.
The name of the program is called “Living the Eucharist”. Those who have participated over the past two years really appreciated getting to know other parishioners, and the opportunity to learn more about the meaning and importance of the Mass.
Small Groups meet once a week for 6 weeks, beginning the week of February 23
rd
through the week of March 29
th
. When you register, you can choose the day and time that you want to meet.
We Have Two Special Invitations:
1. We are in need of parishioners to help facilitate weekly discussions using a easy to use participant booklet.
2. We are also in need of Hosts – those who will open their home to a small group (6-8) to meet. Rooms are also available at church if you want to meet here.
If would like to help in one of these areas, please indicate so when filling out the registration form.
