In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen
Dear Lord, we pray for safety for everyone who is traveling over spring break, as well as those who are staying in the comfort and safety of their own home. We pray for anyone who is experiencing challenges and suffering in their lives, both spoken and unspoken. And we pray for the silent petitions and intentions we hold in our hearts.
St. John Baptist De LaSalle, Pray for us
Saints Benedict and Scholastica, Pray for us
Live Jesus in our Hearts, Forever

Good morning Pioneers. Thank you to everyone who submitted an answer for our first trivia question of Women’s History Month. Last week’s winner is Junior Madison Barott who correctly guessed that the London Olympics in 2012 was the first Olympic Games where women competed in every sport even though they had been competing since the 2nd Olympics in 1900. Please stop by 118 to pick up your Chipotle gift card from Dr. Obernolte.
Also, thank you to everyone who has submitted names of influential women in history. The google form is still open so please keep submitting names here. Our submission of the week is Marie Curie. She was a Polish scientist who moved to Paris to continue her studies in physics. She worked mostly with radioactivity–she even coined the term. She was even able to treat WWI veterans using her own supply of radium. She went on to win two Nobel Prizes, one in 1903 and another in 1911 making her the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in science and the first scientist to win it twice in two different categories. That brings us to this week’s trivia question: Marie Curie won the Nobel prize in which TWO categories? Submit your answer in the Google Form in the announcements email.

Today you will notice that we do not serve meat in the cafe. Not eating meat on Fridays during Lent is a long-standing Catholic tradition and it’s meant to call special attention to the season of Lent. If you or your family does not follow this practice you are welcome to bring your own lunch, but just know that you will not see meat items served by FLIK Today and on Fridays during Lent.

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.
