CHRISTMAS Church Decorations

After 23 years of decorating the church for

Christmas, we are stepping down as chair-

persons. It has been a privilege and joy to

help make our church beautiful for the holi-

day season. It is now time for younger par-

ish members to carry on this ministry, per-

haps with new ideas. The Christmas deco-

rating group could be your family, or a

committee of friends. We would be avail-

able to help the transition for this year. As

some things need to be ordered in advance,

it is the time to decide if you are interested

in this ministry. If you have questions, or

need additional information, please feel

free to call us at 681-0527.

JOHN PAUL II ACADEMY Hello JP2A families! May is here, our final

full month of the school year. Fittingly, our

virtue for the month is DETERMINATION,

focusing your energy and efforts on a task

and sticking with it until it's finished. Class-

room lessons will introduce and promote

strategies students can use to finish this

school year strong- continuing to turn in as-

signments on time, keeping grades up, stay-

ing organized, and behaving appropri-

ately. Middle school Character Club will

keep meeting throughout May and will be

creating a campaign around the school to pro-

mote ways to have a safe and healthy sum-

mer. 6th grade boys group and 4th grade

girls book club continue to meet every Mon-

day, as well. - Mrs. Martone
