AN EXCITING 2014-2015!
E
very school year starts with excitement as the summer
winds down and expectations turn to "What will school be
like this year? Who are the new teachers? What will be

FROM OUR SJA SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Dear SJA parents and students,
Welcome! I hope you had a fabulous summer! It is an honor to be part of the SJA family and it is a privilege to serve your children.
Thank you for choosing St. Joan of Arc and for entrusting us with your child.
I have been looking forward to meeting SJA students, and parents, as well as my new colleagues. I have been quite impressed by the work ethic
and caliber of our staff. Our faculty had a retreat this week, which was facilitated by our DRE, Sr. Vivian Gonzalez. The focus of the retreat,
“Education as a Vocation”, is an excellent reminder for why Catholic education is so valuable for our children. Teachers were reminded that
their students are a gift from God and they in turn are a gift from God to their students. Each classroom is “holy ground” as we need to focus
on the whole child as we prepare them to be disciples. Teachers took time out from their busy schedules to reflect on what made them choose the
education field; discussed some of their best teaching experiences; and what gift they have to give to the students. Some of the
gifts the teachers stated they look forward to sharing with their students include: enthusiasm, love, optimism, encouragement, determination,
innovation, compassion, patience, joy, thankfulness and perseverance. In other words, your child is going to receive so much more than academic
excellence! Teachers received a journal for writing their teaching experiences throughout the year and will also be praying for you,
their students and each other as they embark on a new beginning… the 2014-2015 school year!
“Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes.
He is the mold of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.”

“PRAYER FOR PEACE IN IRAQ AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST”
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is asking all parishes to
offer special prayer on August 17 for Peace in Iraq. Below is the full text
of Patriarch Sako’s Prayer for Peace.
Lord,
The plight of our country is deep
and the suffering of Christians is severe and frightening.
Therefore, we ask you Lord
to spare our lives, and to grant us patience, and courage
to continue our witness of Christian values
with trust and hope.
Lord,
peace is the foundation of life;
Grant us the peace and stability that will enable us
to live with each other without fear and anxiety,
and with dignity and joy.
Glory be to you forever. Amen.
