JUST CHECKING IN ~ MARCH 24, 2010
“From the depths we cry to thee, God of sov’reign majesty! Hear our prayers and
hymns of praise; bless our Lent of forty days…” ~ Heinlein
EASTER BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS! As we approach the end of our Lenten journey and the start of Holy Week on Palm Sunday, as a school community we pray that your time in Lent may have been personally fruitful for you and that you and yours can anticipate the joy and blessing of Easter and the promise of Resurrection it holds for you.
Next Wednesday our students will spend some time in retreat with appropriate prayer and activity time, celebrate Seders, and close their day in church as the 8th Grade performs the traditional Living Stations which will be repeated for the parish on Good Friday.
This will be our last envelope until April 7th, the Wednesday after Easter. The April calendar is enclosed and we remind you that school will close for Easter at our 3 PM dismissal on the 31st and re-open on Easter Monday, April 5th. Please make note that April is a full month of school with the exception of noon dismissal on Wednesday, April 14th, for Confirmation which takes place later that afternoon. In addition, optional summer uniforms may be worn starting on April 15th.
SUMMER SCHOOL AT SCS We are able to offer a Title I summer school program here this year. Students in Grades K to 7 who are Title I eligible received letters for their parents today about the program which begins June 28 and runs through July 29 four mornings a week. Commitment is time-sensitive and so a response is needed by next Monday.
THANK YOU TO OUR HOME & SCHOOL Both our Board and its different committees have been meeting, planning, and hosting the many different activities that they sponsor from Bunny Brunch for little ones to Ladies’ Bingo and Casino Night for adults to Special Lunches and Ice Cream Days for all our students. We thank these people in a special way for giving of their time to make such events possible. No matter how full our plates are, each of us should look for ways to help in some ways—big or little. That feeling of being connected is a special one.
EASY? CONFIDENTIAL? Easy? “Ten questions, ten minutes” is one of the slogans for this year’s Census. Questions are few in number and easily answered. It might not even take ten minutes to finish the questionnaire and drop it in the mail.
Confidential? By law, Census Bureau information cannot be passed on to employers, banks, law enforcement and immigration agencies or anyone else at all. It’s used to create a statistical profile of the United States. Period. Census data is sealed for 72 years so that this year’s individual information won’t be available to anyone else until the year 2082.
PEOPLE AND EVENTS We congratulate both of our cheerleader squads for each bringing home the Bronze in the competition. Once again our Varsity also won the Spirit Award. What a great season both these Varsity and JV girls had and we are very proud of them all
Parents interested in Spring or Summer SAT Workshops for their high school students or Learning Skills Programs for 6-8th Grade students can call us for a brochure or go online to www.drpaceseminars.com for more information about these programs.
CRITICAL THINKING 101 Nick Azzarano (1-31) had his correct entry drawn for this week’s $10 Gift Card of Choice certificate. The answers were 1. lose/close, 2. air/hair, 3. over/cover, 4. wish/swish, 5. hide/chide. For next time, “At the giant Easter celebration in a town, each participant was able to dye six eggs. If there were 500 participants, how many dozens of eggs needed to be purchased and how many were left over?”

“Christ be with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me….Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me…” Prayer of St. Patrick
2ND TRIMESTER REPORT CARDS will be sent home tomorrow at the close of the school day. Know that we remind your children that they should first open their envelopes with you and not with their friends. Know also that it is important to recognize the strong points of the report with your children and also address how to work on the challenges you may see. Holding a good conversation works and helps your children take ownership of their learning. Students know themselves. As always, if you need to connect with a teacher, mark the box on the back of the card when you sign it and check to see if the teacher may have made the same request of you.
FINANCIAL AID FOR SCS FAMILIES There is limited assistance available for families with serious financial difficulty. These families may apply for financial consideration. All applications should be in writing to our tuition review committee no later than May 1. Parents seeking assistance will be sent an application form which must be completed before a meeting is scheduled for them with the committee. Please be assured that these families will be treated with dignity, respect and confidentiality. Please keep in mind that this applies only to families in grades k-8. Full tuition must be paid for Pre-kindergarten. Families receiving assistance are expected to use Gift Card ( Scrip) Program to reduce their tuition. Assistance is limited to families who qualify for Special Stewardship Rate.
CHILD SAFETY OPPORTUNITY FOR K AND 1ST GRADERS Thanks to a grant the Police Department has received we are able to offer parents of K and 1st Graders the opportunity to have their children’s necessary and vital information put on a CD which parents would then have in case of an emergency with their child. We will be setting up the date for the police to come to school to complete the CD’s and so those interested parents need to send in their paperwork by this Friday if they have not yet done so.
OUR VERY OWN NEUMANN SCHOLAR Congratulations to 8th Grader Fred Licsauer who has won a complete four year scholarship to an Archdiocesan high school. First having qualified and then sitting for the competitive academic test, Fred placed among the top 4% of 8th Graders across the Archdiocese in this competition sponsored by the Connelly Foundation. We all found out at the same time Monday morning when Kim Flavell from the Foundation came to school to make the announcement in front of our 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade classes. What a great way to start the week. We are very proud of Fred and know that he will do special things at Roman Catholic which is where he has chosen to go. The Connelly Foundation are very generous to our schools from technology to assemblies and trips to scholarships and grants, they recognize how prepared our students must be for the future of our region and nation and are doing their part.
WILL THERE BE A MARKET DAY NEXT YEAR? We’ve got the dates for next year but no chairpeople to replace Cheryl Sylvester and Linda Gumpper at this point in time. If two of you would like to chair this for the next two years, these ladies will be happy to train you and remain as mentors.
PEOPLE AND EVENTS We congratulate these students who placed in the IHM Math Contest at the school level: 7th Grade: 1st Place—Marikate O’Toole, 2nd Place—Nina Juntereal, 3rd Place—Marissa Picozzi. 8th Grade: 1st Place—Charlie Hoyt, 2nd Place—Anthony D’Alfonso, 3rd Place—Three-Way Tie-Shannon Harrington, Frank Duffner, and Fred Licsauer.
Once again our JV Cheerleaders did great and came in 1st Place in competition this past weekend. All the practice our girls put into preparing for these events is well worth it.
CRITICAL THINKING 101 Shannon Hughes (Pre-K) had her correct entry drawn for this week’s $10 Gift Card of Choice certificate. We needed to lose the last letter to answer the clues. We went from 1. charm to char, 2. warm to war, 3. realm to real, and 4. pine to pin. For next week, we need to do the total opposite. We need to add a letter at the start of the second clue. Here we go: 1. opposite of find / shut 2. we breathe this / grows on your head 3. finished or done / conceal 4. hope for / move back and forth especially in water 5. animal skin / scold.
“Christ be with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me….Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me…” Prayer of St. Patrick

“In these days of Lenten journey we have seen and we have heard the call to sow justice...”
KEEPING GREEN WITH RAIN BARRELS If you would like to attend a rain barrel demonstration, SCS and Cranaleith are having a special day on Friday, April 30th. In the morning our 5th graders will be working with parent volunteers and a host of local agencies to do some planting which will include a butterfly garden behind our school. After a picnic lunch, we will be walking over to Cranaleith where we will see a 1:00 rain barrel demonstration program to which all of you and yours are invited. Philadelphia residents need to let us know if they want to sign up for a free rain barrel for their homes. If you do, please call school and leave your name with one of the secretaries by this Friday so that we can send a number in to the Water Department. Proof of residence will be required when rain barrels are distributed. This is a great way to help yourselves and work toward keeping our planet green.
REPORT CARD REMINDER Second trimester report cards will be distributed on Thursday, March 18. We will be holding cards if offertory contributions for stewardship families are at a very low level, if monthly tuition is not paid through February or if there is an open balance on any other payment plan. These payments must reach the parish office no later than Monday, March 15. There can be no exceptions to this policy. Please speak with Maryann Junod if you have questions or concerns
IF YOU LOVE MARKET DAY… please consider whether you would take on coordinating this program for us. After starting and building the program up to the success it is at present, Cheryl Sylvester now has different family commitments and her co-chair Linda Gumpper’s youngest is now in 8th Grade. We thank both of these women for making this such an attractive program all the way around. The funds raised definitely augment our school program and help participants individually by providing tuition vouchers. There is an official Market Day staff person who works with the chairs and is at each Market Day monthly pick-up. We operate this during the school year only. So, if you would like to talk about this, let us know. Both Cheryl and Linda would help two of you get started, of course.
SAVING THOSE ACME RECEIPTS? You’d better send them in before we break for Easter. H&S Chair Susy Weller sent in information from the company that they are ending this great community endeavor by April 30th and we could get one final check before it’s done. Gather them up and we’ll get them counted and mailed.
MARCH STUDENTS OF THE MONTH Congratulations go to the following students: Pre-K- Paige Ross Kindergarten- Brandon Fredericksdorf and Megan Comas; First-Haley Farmer, Kian McNicholas, and Jeffrey Hannan; Second- Emily Montague, Emily Loughery, and Emilia Tomes; Third- Zachary Dimmick, and Jack Juarez; Fourth- Grace Camillo, Kaylie Jurgelewicz, and Gianna Zornek; Fifth- Amanda Hearn, and Kristen Lichtner; Sixth- Julia Davis, Stephen Paul, and James Crown; Seventh- Nick Bianco, Jesse Lane, and Matt Ruskowski; Eighth- Michael Johncola, Shannon Harrington, Jessica Kaminski, and Raymond Rocks. We’re proud of all of you!
PEOPLE AND EVENTS Cheers to our cheerleaders! This past Sunday, both squads competed at St. Joseph’s University with great results. Our JV came in 2nd Place and our Varsity 1st Place along with wining the Spirit Award which speaks of the girls’ hearts and how they act at a competition. We’ll be holding an end-of-day pep rally for them this Friday to send them forth with even more spirit for the big competition at Ryan this Sunday.
If you can’t make our H&S Bunny Brunch on the 20th or even if you can and are in the market for another one, the Archbishop Ryan Girls’ Field Hockey Team is once again holding its Easter Egg Hunt on March 27 from 11-1 PM in the North Cafeteria. Tickets which include lunch are $7.
CRITICAL THINKING 101 Brigid Young (8-26) will be receiving this week’s $10 Gift Card of Choice certificate for having her correct entry drawn. There are 238 days in the Daylight Saving Time period so enjoy them all. For next week, it’s “No Last Letter”. We’ll give you two definitions and you provide the words. The catch is that the second word is the first but without the final letter. Here’s an example: begin / heavenly body— the right answers are start / star. Got it? Here we go. 1. bracelet decoration / burn or scorch 2. give out moderate heat / conflict between nations. 3. kingdom, domain / true, genuine. 4. type of tree / type of jewelry.

JUST CHECKING IN ~ MARCH 4, 2009
“The Spirit sends us forth to serve; We go in Jesus’ name…Then let us go to serve in peace, The gospel to proclaim. God’s Spirit has empowered us; We go in Jesus’ name…”
WHEN OUR CONFIRMANDI COME FORWARD THIS AFTERNOON like the words of the song above, they are led by the Spirit as they go forward in Jesus’ name and their Confirmation names which acknowledge this commitment they make when they receive this sacrament of Confirmation. Pray for them.
BLUE THURSDAY SCS joins people from all over the Delaware Valley to show their support for police officers who are increasingly under fire from armed criminals on our streets. Parents can show your support by wearing blue, or decorating your car, home, or place of business with blue ribbons, encouraging everyone you know to do the same and showing support for police officers throughout the region on "Blue Thursday". Several Philadelphia landmarks have pledged their support by turning their lights to blue on Thursday evening including: Benjamin Franklin Bridge, Boathouse Row, Cira Center and Liberty One. Here at SCS students are invited to wear their blue ribbons from the first Blue Day or other pins or remembrances they may have along with their blue school sweaters. Classrooms and hallways too can be adorned with blue ribbons and signs showing our support for our police officers who are there for us each and every day. We know we are blessed with their presence. God bless them one and all!
THEY’RE KIDDING, RIGHT? Daylight Savings Time begins again this weekend. Doesn’t it seem unbelievable to have freezing temps, snow, and DST all in the same week? Don’t forget all the things around the house that need changing like school alarm clocks for Monday morning.
THIS LOTTERY’S ODDS ARE MUCH BETTER Please remember that we received another $10,000 in EITC grant money from Aegis Security. We pulled names for the first $10,000 monies from Enterprise and left the names not drawn in the basket. If you’d like your name added for consideration for a $1,000 SCS 2009-10 tuition grant as well, please call Maryann Junod at the parish center by Tuesday, March 10th. The drawing will take place on Thursday, the 12th. Once again, we’ll pull 10 names and 2 alternates.
PARISH CENTER INFORMATION ABOUT REPORT CARDS Second trimester report cards will be distributed on Thursday, March 12. We will be holding report cards if offertory contributions for stewardship families are at a very low level, if monthly tuition is not paid through February, or if there is an open balance on any other payment plan. These payments must reach the parish office no later than March 10. Please speak with Maryann Junod if you have questions or concerns.
To insure accurate records of your Sunday Offertory contributions always use the Sunday collection envelopes provided and clearly mark the amount enclosed; i.e. $100.00 or $200.00 so the amount is not recorded at $1.00 or $2.00. Thank you.
PEOPLE AND EVENTS Let’s hear it for our cheerleaders! Once again they came home with trophies from the competition at Ryan. The Varsity won a 3rd Place trophy for All Around and the JV wond a 2nd Place for All Around as well as a 1st Place for Dance. The hard work these girls have put in really shows. They’ll be in top shape for their final competition on March 14th at Penn State Abington.
Our Swim Team is having a championship meet this Sunday, March 8, at 12 Noon against St. Albert’s. Go St. Chris!
We’ve told you about lots of championship games. Look on the back for the members of these teams. It’s been quite a year on the basketball court for SCS.
CRITICAL THINKING 101 Our $10 Gift Card/Scrip of Choice certificate goes to Paul Sullivan (1-31) who knew that 8,549,176,320 is the only number whose digits are arranged in alphabetical order. For next week, “An anagram link is a set of two words that link together by the last letter of one word, and the first letter of the other. Both words contain the same letters, but in different order such as team/meat. Can you find these anagram links by using the clues: 1.Link at T-one word means to consume. 2. Link at F-one word means skin. 3. Link at S-one word means to frighten.
