Lord, our students are trying to balance familiar Truth against a host of other unfamiliar voices that are trying to sway their beliefs and make them fall. In a world where values are decreasing, morality is fading, and persecution is increasing, help our students to walk humbly, to honor You daily, and to remain true to their calling in Christ. Let them be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks them for the hope or confidence they possess and a reason why they have chosen a relationship with You. Help them to let their Light shine at school and wherever they go so that others who observe their attitudes and actions will know that they are the real thing.

When our students make mistakes or feel they have become imbalanced, help them find the courage to admit, “I was wrong. Forgive me,” or “Lord, I need help.” Let them treasure their “difference” as a gentle yet bold believer, never to flaunt it or to hide it because of timidity or embarrassment. If they encounter challenges that pit their studies against their faith, remind them that You are always on their side and that You are their Wise Counselor, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. You are the One who can dispel lies and deceit. Whether they face fear or danger or simply need comfort, may they always turn to You, the One Who always hears their cries, and the One who will never leave them or forsake them.

It is hard to believe that we are entering the Month of May on Saturday, the Month of Mary. I hope everyone is doing well and that we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It certainly has been a different year for everyone.

As we come closer to the end of the school year, we will be trying to have end of year celebrations within the guidance of the San Mateo County Health Department.

We will have the end-of-year Mass on Friday, June 11th at 9:30 am in the upper yard. As we get closer to that date more information will be released.

Fun Run

We have the upcoming FUN RUN on Monday, May 10th in the morning. Between now and then we are asking all families to gather as many sponsors as possible. The funds raised this year will be used for the new blinds in all the classrooms. Each child has their own web page where they can gather sponsors. There are prizes for students when they hit certain targets. You have been receiving emails from Kent, the organizer of the Fun Run. Thanks to everyone for your support.

Re-Enrollment

Please ensure you have completed the re-enrollment for the upcoming school year of 2021-2022. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email Mrs. Cierra at info@ssfallsoulsschool.org

Dear All Souls Families,

You can now pay and add credit to your child/children's cafeteria account through SchoolSpeak. Your payment will be processed through PayPal with a 3% convenience fee for all transactions.

Sign-in to your SchoolSpeak account and select "Lunch Order" in the quick links menu on the left. The "Pay" tab will direct you to your payment options. You may pay the cafeteria balance through your existing PayPal account or as a guest using your credit or debit card. You may also add credit to your child/children's cafeteria account. If you wish, you may still make cash or check payments to the school office.

Please note, for the families that have a credit card on file I will no longer be charging your credit card for lunch payments. You are responsible for paying and adding credit to your cafeteria account.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Regards,

Ms. Escobar
