Well, I am thankful school is over for the week. I have been on high since Monday. Trying t0 find out all the homework I missed , getting it all completed, sorting out the Scorekeeping stuff, getting sign up sheets ready and lastly getting all the Grade 12 SPM's together to review and making the meeting schedule. I now have the weekend to complete all the homework and extra assignments I have outstanding.
Off the topic of homework, a lot has been happening at school the last few days regarding the flood in the Philippines. Today Nick and Jessica announced that next week will be a spirit week with everything being dedicated to the people who's lives have been impacted by the flood. Monday will be an assembly just to let everyone know how bad it really is in the Philippines right now. Tuesday to Thursday they will be collecting clothing, shoes and blankets to send to the Philippines. Please donate as much as you can. To conclude the week, on Friday they will be having a Dress Down Day and they have asked that each of us bring $18 which is enough to feed one family for two weeks. At first I thought that was an awfully high amount to ask but money goes a long way there and its for a very good cause. I have been attending school with Philippino's since Kindergarden so I do consider myself a Philippino at heart and I will be donating more then $18 on Friday. I am hopeing that the rest of the shcool will do their part as well.
We also discovered this week that Fr. Anthony will be doing confessions in the Chapel on Wednesday's and Friday's during lunch. He will also be doing Adoration of the blessed sacrament on Thursdays during lunch from 12:45p.m. till 1:05p.m. I did attend on Thursday and it was a great session. I was disappointed at the attendance especially from the garde 12's. Maybe we all can try to go at least once a month and spend a little time with the Lord.
Thats all for today......
