Weekly Snapshot #23 - Week of February 9, 2026
Week of February 9, 2026
Despite the bitter cold, we have made it through another week. There are only 15 Mondays until Memorial Day and only 42 days until spring! We can do it. Next week should be another relatively quiet week with few disruptions. Friday is not a FULL dress down day for the students, so that should help keep things somewhat calm. It is a great time to hit those priority topics. Here is the link to the Archdiocesan Curriculum for your reference: AoP Curriculum Guidelines
We will have a Faculty Meeting on Wednesday after school. On my agenda so far is a door decorating contest, variety show, curriculum priority topics, new assessment format from OCE, and Terra Nova. If you have anything that you would like us to discuss, please complete the Meeting Agenda Sheet that is attached to this week’s email.
If you are interested in helping to plan a Variety Show or teacher commercials for the Variety Show, please click the link. This event will be held at some point this spring. Variety Show
Words of Wisdom for the Week
“He will either shield you from suffering or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace,
and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.” - St. Francis de Sales
Virtue for the Month of February: Honesty
All teachers are teachers of the faith in our school, so all teachers may send to the office at any time throughout the month names of students who are modeling the virtue of honesty. Be on the lookout for those students who tell the truth even when it is difficult or are just generally trustworthy. This one may be a challenge, but it is a short month.
