Reminders:
Apostle’s Creed: Continue to practice this prayer at home. Students need to commit it to memory and recite to me by Friday, February 27th.
Native American Project: Students should be working on their visual aid this week. All research materials and notes they have taken will come home on Friday or next Monday so that students can use them to prepare for their oral presentation.
St. Martin de Porres:
BROWN BAG FRIDAYS FOR ST. MARTIN de PORRES SHELTER will begin Friday, Feb. 27th. Every year, as part of our Lenten Outreach, Holy Rosary School has provided lunches to the men at St. Martin de Porres shelter. Students are asked to bring a lunch or two and a toiletry item on designated Fridays during Lent. These lunches can be kept cold, so perishable food is fine. Thank you for your generosity.

*Feb. 27 – men’s gloves
March 6 – men’s socks
March 13 – disposable razors/shaving cream (sample size)
