Parent Night of Reflection

Thank you to everyone who came to the Parent Night of Reflection. I had so much fun hanging out with your children and I am confident you had a great time with the priests reflecting on everything you love about your children! We are looking forward to more of these events in the coming months.

Thanksgiving Masses

Please remember that Thanksgiving is also a time to go to Mass with your family. There are Masses on both Wednesday night and Thursday morning at your local parishes.

Basketball

We had another great weekend of Basketball. The 5/6 Girls played a scrimmage as their opponent didn't show up and it was a great learning experience -- it's so great to see all the girls who have never played basketball before show up and give it their all! The 5/6 Boys played Sacred Heart and came out on top -- great defense was played and there were even a few three point shots that were made! 7/8 Girls played against a tough Boys Club Team and never gave up. Their tenacity and resilience was phenomenal! The 7/8 Boys played against Sacred Hearts and came out on top -- it was a great game! No games next weekend because of Thanksgiving! We will be back in action the weekend of the 6th and 7th of December.

***A special thank you to all the fans who showed up -- students and families came out to support the girls and it was fantastic to see all the supporters that LCA has!***

If you are interested in joining LCA's Wellness Committee, please email Mrs. Loughlin at mloughlin@lawrencecatholicacademy.org OR Mrs. Strunk at srstrunk@lawrencecatholicacademy.org.

Our 15 prefects and 7 class representatives have started meeting! They will be working on planning a Spirit Week for December!

Prefects are 8th Grade students who help our younger students, help their teachers, set a good example, are motivated and dedicated to LCA and push themselves to be better every day. These students are seen as role models and leaders and are looked at as trustworthy, kind, responsible and students who embody our core values. Our Class Representatives are students in 7th Grade who will help the younger students have their voices heard at LCA. They will meet with younger students and bring their ideas to the older students. They are role models who younger students can look up to.

The Archdiocese of Boston has shifted the age at which young people receive the Sacrament of Confirmation to the end of Grade 8.

Confirmation preparation programs take place in parishes (as opposed to at LCA). Each parish determines the length of its Confirmation preparation program (one year during Grade 8 . . . or two years in Grades 7 and 8 . . . or other). To find out about your parish’s Confirmation Preparation program, all Grade 7 and 8 Catholic families should inquire and register at their parishes.

We hope all our Catholic students will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of Grade 8!

Brag Sheets are now overdue. Please get them in NOW!
