Hi Pioneers! I’m Camille from Student Council with a quick reminder about homecoming. If you ordered a T-shirt, it will be handed out this Friday, and you will have the opportunity to tie-dye it during WIN on Monday. More details will be coming out about where you can pick up your T-shirt. There are some big events coming up during Homecoming week, including Monday’s movie on the field, Mass on Tuesday, a scavenger hunt on Thursday, and, of course, a pep fest on Friday of that week. Check the student council Instagram for more details or any updates. Have a great day, Pioneers!

Hey I’m JoJo and I’m Brooke and we are Peer Ministers…and we are here to tell you that
Holy Moly, 10 Minutes for your Souly is Happening TODAY in the Chapel during High School Break–10:10-10:20.
This is a great prayer experience where we can grow closer to God in the craziness of the day! So grab a friend and head to the chapel during the break—it’s just 10 minutes to fill your Souly!!

This message is for ALL STUDENTS: you may NOT leave backpacks in hallways when you are at lunch. They must be in a classroom or in your locker. If you didn’t get a locker to start the year but realize you need one now, please visit the Office of Student Life and we will get you a locker!

Message from Mr. Benner
Attention Middle Schoolers!!!
Great job yesterday with our new seating arrangement in the lunchroom.
Please remember to walk in the halls as you’re headed to lunch and be seated before your table is called -if your table is getting a delicious meal from Flik.
The seat you choose is your seat for the remainder of lunch. This will hopefully cut down on students whose seats are taken as they use the restroom, get more food, or simply dump their tray early.
Thanks again, Middle Schoolers, for your effort in this new lunchroom procedure.
Thank you

At the Beginning of Prayer:

Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God as we begin in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Silent Prayer:

As we prepare ourselves for a moment of silence, we remember that we are in the holy presence of God and one another. We quiet our bodies and our minds to listen for what silence may teach us. From Pslam 46, “be still and know that I am God.”

As we continue our day, let us remember what peace there may be in silence.

Hi Pioneers, this is sophomore peer minister Reese R here with your Ministry Minute. Today I want to talk about service. Service doesn’t have to be something big—it can be simple things like holding the door, or helping a friend with homework. There is an upcoming opportunity to lead a middle school
Retreat at Dunrovin Retreat Center. There are limited spots so please email Ms Fandrich. I encourage you to look for ways, big or small, to serve this week. Remember, you can always look on the Google service classroom stream for different ideas. Have a great day, Pioneers!

This morning, on the 24th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we will offer a special prayer instead of our regular Thursday prayer. 

Loving God,
On this day, we pause to remember the power of unity, the strength of compassion,
and the call to be people of peace in a world that often feels uncertain.

We lift up in prayer all those affected by acts of violence and loss —
in our nation and around the world —
and we ask You to bring healing where there is hurt,
hope where there is sorrow,
and light where there is darkness.

Inspire us, Lord, to be peacemakers in our daily lives —
in our homes, our classrooms, and our communities.
Help us to listen with open hearts,
to speak with kindness,
and to act with courage and mercy.

May we always remember the value of every human life,
and strive to reflect Your love in all that we do.

St John Baptist de LaSalle –  Pray for us.

Saints Benedict and Scholastica – Pray for us. 

Live Jesus in our hearts – Forever!

Good morning everyone! Those of you who attend Hill- Murray last year may remember me but for those who are new welcome my name is Lexi W and I get to continue this thing called wellness Wednesday that Sophia S had previously started. Each week I come on the announcements and talk about ways to improve your overall wellness with a special focus on mental health. This week I want to acknowledge the fact that the first few weeks back to school can be rough, but you made it through and it’s important to acknowledge that because even little wins our wins.

Hello fellow Pioneers. This is Ryker Rivard, Seba Jara-Bobe and Sam King, the boys soccer captains and we need your help!

The Pioneer Boys Soccer teams are hosting a Food Drive to help support students and families in our community. The food drive will be held Thursday, September 11th – Thursday, September 18. Donation bins will be at the entrance to the stadium for donations during soccer games or you may bring donations to school and deliver them to the bins outside the Athletic Office.

Please remember those less fortunate who do not have enough to eat and help us to provide for those students and families. The donations will be shared with elementary school students at Eagle Point School and Cowern School.

Thanks for your support,

Attention All Drivers :
There is a school zone in front of the building. 25 MPH between 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Sister Linda has been joining the Maplewood Police for occasional ride-alongs to help keep our students safe. It’s called Operation Sister Linda.
Please be mindful of your speed when driving through the area as no one wants a ticket or higher insurance bills.
Let’s keep it safe (and ticket-free!) for our students, families, and neighbors. Most importantly, slowing down helps protect our students, families, and neighbors. Thank you for doing your part to keep our school zone safe for everyone!

A quick reminder that the Christmas Carol audition sign-up sheet is hanging outside the choir room on the callboard. You must sign up for an audition slot in order to audition.

Hi Pioneers, this is senior peer minister Lily P here with your ministry minute.
Today I want to talk about service. Service is such a simple way we can give back to our community and really make a meaningful difference. There are lots of opportunities posted in the Google Service Classroom, things like helping at the North St. Paul parade, volunteering at the St. Ambrose food fest, or even working with the Humane Society to care for animals in need. Each of these is a chance to step outside yourself and do something good for others. I encourage you to sign up, get involved, and help make a difference. Have a great day, Pioneers!
