Parent-Tween Night:
A huge thank you to Steve Kelly, a St. Pius X School parent, and Diana Rauschhaupt, a St. Pius X parishioner, who spoke to families and their children last Monday evening. Mr. Kelly highlighted information about internet usage that all parents need to know in order to monitor the safety of their children when using this tool for communication. Mrs. Rauschhaupt informed us of a new program designed to help teens forge healthy relationships that will be initiated with our 7th Grade students.
Several extremely important points were made. First, information and photos sent electronically by cell phone or internet are public forever. They can always be retrieved by someone with technical knowledge. Second, never send anything by cell phone or internet that you would not want your grandmother, school principal, college admissions officer, or future employer to discover. Many colleges and businesses are now routinely checking sites such as Facebook to see what kinds of things their applicants have posted or said. Third, children should not have an expectation of privacy in the home. Parents have a right and an obligation to know what their children are involved with in order to protect them. These are all vital points to consider!
Catholic Schools Week:
This week we celebrate Catholic Schools Week. The theme is Catholic Schools-Dividends for Life. All of our students have been asked to think about how our Catholic school will provide them with dividends in the future. We look forward to hearing their thoughts on what they think their Catholic Education will mean to them in the years to come. St. Pius X School is very proud of our legacy of providing our students with a top-notch education and a love of their faith. We look forward to continuing this wonderful ministry for youngsters well into the future.
Children’s Collection:
Since we have recently had several collections to support relief efforts in Haiti, there will be no Children’s Collection at school next week. We will resume our children’s collection for the parish on March 3rd, the first Wednesday in March.
School Registration:
If you have not yet sent in your school registration information and deposit which was attached to last week’s Purple & Gold Newsletter, please do so as soon as possible. Remember, no Facts payment was collected during January to a facilitate this registration payment. We appreciate your help with this so that we can begin the planning processes for the 2010-2011 school year.
Remember to continue to pray for each other,
—Bill and Theresa
