Get DFL!  What a wonderful week of celebration, fellowship, fun, competitions, and sharing God’s gifts!  Thank you everyone for coming and celebrating with us – whether at the masses, open house, pancake breakfast, book fair, parent/guest lunch, flag ceremony, talent show, or grandparent’s mass.  We always appreciate seeing you and thank you for your support in whatever way you are able to give.  The book fair was very successful once again with generous donations to our teachers and classrooms.  Thank you so much!  I want to give a special thank you to all teachers and parents who helped prepare the school and programs for all of us to enjoy, to Sister Louise Marie for visiting all of our students on vocation day; also thank you to those students who signed up and participated in the first CSW poster contest and talent show for St. Rose School – The Place to Be! 

 

Have a great weekend!  Take Care and God Bless!               Rosanne Gallia

 

         An education in a Catholic school provides dividends for life.  We are speaking not only about academic benefits, but also about character development.  A Catholic Education teaches students to strive for excellence in their professional and personal lives by carefully choosing not only what they do for a living but how they live their lives.  We maintain our strength for a good life by staying close to Jesus.  He is the vine, and we are the branches.  Fruit is developed only if it stays attached to the vine, its source of nourishment.  The great thing about the Christian life is that the fruit we produce nourishes not only ourselves, but others as well.  Faith, knowledge, discipline and morals are the hallmarks of a Catholic education, but they are also indications of a life well-lived.  When we share these four fruits with our co-workers and communities, the whole world benefits.  What dividends (fruit) do you see in your life?  How can you stay close to Jesus and “remain” in his love?  How can you benefit your neighbors?  How do you know God loves you?  How can you share God’s love with others?
