St. Francis of Assisi
Today is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi.
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Hello Fifth Grade Families!
Happy Monday to all of you! I hope you had a great weekend and ready to start the short week. Please note that there is no school this Friday and Monday. I wish you and your family a great four-day weekend!
Please note the following:
- Please cover all textbooks. Some kids still have their books uncovered. Covers protect the books from wear and tear.
- It is really important that students manage their time wisely. If a long-term assignment or project is due on Friday, please do not wait until Thursday night to complete it.
- The students have switched seats and cleaned desk. It would also be a good idea clean backpacks and binder. Please make sure all corrected papers have been reviewed and removed from the STAR binder. Additionally, all old newsletters should also be recycled.

Welcome Fifth Graders 2010-2011
I hope you had a great summer! I am very excited about this coming school year. There are many things to look forward to.
This summer I went back to the Philippines. I was born in the Philippines and migrated to the United States when I was twelve years old. It was nice to be back to do some mission work and see the sights! I hope you also had a great adventure this summer.
I am looking to meet each and everyone of you!
