September 2, 2020 2020-2021 Issue 3 Our Lady of Guadalupe School In the MSJ Dominican Tradition "The foolish build barriers," he asserts, "while the wise build bridges." T'Challa, King of Wakanda Dear OLG Families, “Building Bridges – where fear ends, faith begins.” This year’s school theme is so very timely as illustrated by King T’Challa in The Black Panther, as he addressed the UN. How providential that our 8 th graders recommended this theme at the end of the last school year. How can all of us at OLG be the wise ones who build bridges, in our families, in our school community, in our places of work? As our country struggles with such divisions and conflicts, we at OLG want to be bridge builders. What does it take to build a bridge? A search on Google will tell us that the process of bridge building is as simple as building blocks. Is it simple to be friendly? Is it simple to accept the other for who he/she is? Is it simple to smile so genuinely behind our masks that our eyes light up? As some of our families have come to pick up and drop off materials, I have to say Yes to these questions. We are good bridge builders here at OLG! Let’s continue to be wise and choose the simple acts of kindness in our daily lives. As I’ve shared with you, the teachers spent much time over the summer preparing for school. Thank you for so many kinds words of gratitude you have shared with us. We are currently focused on preparing for the upcoming STAR assessment. Star assessments help teachers better understand what students know and can do in the areas of early literacy, reading, or math. Teachers use this information to guide their instruction. These assessments are given four times a year. This first one serves as the baseline and the other three are given at the end of each trimester. The goal is to see growth in your child’s learning. There will be more detailed information about STAR in next week’s bulletin. Next Tuesday is our OLG School’s 56 th Birthday! Please see the invitation to Mountain Mike’s as a way to celebrate and support! As a reminder, for parents with children in grades K-5, there is a General Parent meeting on Thursday, September 10 at 6:30PM. This is a mandatory meeting. We will not have the tradition Back-to-School meetings for these grades since teachers shared much of the information at the Zoom meetings before school began. Thank you for the parents who brought a mistake in the Cookie Dough Order Form. Please see the adjustment in this bulletin. As God’s Wise Bridge Builders and in God’s Peace, S. Janice Therese, O.P. (Our school’s theme image – thanks to Brittani Gomes and S. Margarita, O.P.)
