Dear GA Families

With the arrival of winter tem-

peratures this week, please be

sure your children come dressed

for outside recess. Weve had

lots of students borrowing gloves

and hats from the nurse, lost and

found, and searching backpacks

very regularly looking for missing

items. It was too cold for outside

recess today, but if the air tem-perature is above zero and or the

windchill is not below -10 de-

greeswe will have the students

go out for at least part of the re-

cess time.

Hope to see several of you at the

Town Hall Meeting tonight. The

School Commission has several

items to share with you about our

school, from marketing initiatives

to survey results, from our Inter-

national Language Program to anew recruitment incentive pro-

gram for alljoin us for the dis-

cussion of these topics.

Classrooms are abuzz with the

sound Spelling Bee Qualifying

Roundsthe top 2 from each

grade level will advance to our

School Wide Spelling Bee during

Catholic Schools Week. Well

have three divisions of competi-

tionK-2, 3-5, and 6-8.

Today we welcomed back three GA

alums and a few of their friends as

they came to share the Math Con-

cepts Book they created in their

high school math class at Holy

Family. Students in grades K-5

were presented these books.

Ive been asked a few questions

about the GA Volunteer Apprecia-

tion Night and want to share a few

details about that evening. ALL of

YOU and your families are invited

you are the volunteers we rely on

in so many ways and the staff

wants to be able to give back to

you in a small gesture that eve-

ning by providing Ice Cream and

toppings for you to enjoy. The

talent show will NOT be that eve-ningwe will have one, but later in

the school year. In addition to the

treat we will be recognizing nine

exceptional volunteers from all

aspects of the Guardian Angels

Parish and School. They will be

receiving the Drum Majors of Ser-

vice Award, which draws upon the

wonderful example of servant

leadership of Martin Luther

Introducing Our New Hospitality Ministry and Baking Brigade!!

Do you like to entertain, bake or just meet people and make them feel welcome? If so,we invite you to join our new GA hospitality ministry. This ministry will support parish-

wide events such as a reception for our parish feast day or a welcome event for a new

priest, deacon or staff member. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to

either coordinate an event or those folks who would rather just help out. Maybe you

could get a team of 2-3 friends or family members who would be willing to coordinate

an event or two each year as a mini-social bonding event between friends/family? We

would also like to create a Baking Brigade of folks who would be willing to occasion-

ally bake treats for parish events. If you are interested in any of these activities please

contact Marie Guillemette 952-368-3086.
