LENTEN PRAYER
Before prayer: Yesterday was Palm Sunday, which marks the start of holy week, one of the holiest of weeks in the liturgical year. Each day this week we will focus on a scripture passage that is part of the holy week daily readings.
(do the prayer intro…) From John’s gospel, “Six days before Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him. Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair.” (John 12:1-3)
Loving God, as we begin this Monday of Holy Week, we remember how Mary anointed Jesus’ feet with love and devotion. She recognized His presence and gave Him her very best. Help us, Lord, to do the same—to offer You our time, our talents, and our hearts with love and gratitude. As we enter into this holy week, we pray that our hearts and minds turn toward You. Amen.

This Thursday, which you know is Holy Thursday, the chapel will be available for quiet prayer and reflection during all WINS – you can sign up under Mr Benner’s name. Again, it’s just quiet prayer, it’s not Mass or a prayer service. All are welcome – sign up under Mr Benner for this Thursday in the Chapel.

This announcement is for all DECA members. You are invited to attend our annual DECA celebration on Tuesday, April 14 in room 120. Students can drop in between 7:30-7:50am for donuts, giveaways, lettering certificates and fun!!! Please plan to attend!

On Wednesday, May 7th, we will be hosting an Ice Cream Social for families that will be new to the school next year. This is a super fun social event that includes ice cream truck treats, fun games and school tours. Because it is such an active and busy event, we are in need of many wonderful volunteers to help with running a game or giving tours.
Besides having fun, you will earn a service credit! However, since the deadline for service hours for this year is May 1st, this service experience would count toward next year’s service hours. How great would it be to have one service experience completed for next year before school gets out this year?
If you are available and willing to help with this event on Wednesday, May 7th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm contact Mrs. O’Gary in the Main Office. All volunteers will get to visit the ice cream truck too!

Finally, it is Yondr time! Students, please take out your phones and your open Yondr pouch. Your teachers will ask you to lock it away for the day. Our goal is to be phone free from the start of school until 2:40. It’s always best to have your Yondr locked when it’s empty in your backpack, as that will help keep the locking pin safe. Simply unlock your Yondr on the way into school each day, and after you release it at the end of the day, close and lock your Yondr again before you put in your backpack.
