Titans' Times

Legal School is a Christ-centered community committed to nurturing lifelong learners, leaders, and global citizens while instilling virtues in the lives of our students.

Our JH students have been busy this week setting up for the Halloween Carnival for next Tuesday for the elementary Titans! Some of the many activities include Haunted House, Face Painting, Mission Impossible, Carnival Games: hockey shoot-out, pumpkin bowling, jousting, basketball, and spider targets, plus so much more! The students have a chance to collect candy after participating in various activities.

ALL JH students will be leading the activities and helping the younger students as they go around the stations. This is an excellent leadership opportunity for Junior High students.

We look forward to having a wonderful time and the JH students are excited to have this annual event again for Halloween this year! Punch cards for $2.50 and $5.00 can be purchased until Tuesday morning, there was an orange letter sent home on Thursday in your child's backpack please look for this.

Have a "spooktacular" week!

On Tuesday morning we will be having a school Halloween parade for the whole school to see everyone's cool costumes! Please remember to keep props that you don't want lost for Halloween Night at home. Also all costumes must be respectful of a safe and caring school environment!
We are looking forward to seeing all the awesome costumes!

Halloween can be a spooky time! Whether it’s ghosts, zombies, or the fear of failure, there is no wrong “thing” of which to be afraid. What is important though, is that we recognize how hurtful OR helpful fear can be in reaching our goals. Fear can feel like a brick wall, stopping us from moving forward. Fear can also be the hammer that helps us break that brick wall down! Our fears can help us achieve our dreams!

Check out this Dreams & Fears activity from Big Life Journal that you can do at home! This activity will help your child visualize the power of their fears and how to channel those fears to achieve their dreams.

Each session is intended to provide parents, caregivers, and community members with introductory information regarding addiction and mental health challenges that can affect children and youth, evidence-based research, possible treatment options, supportive strategies, and information/resources for further support. When topics are presented as a series, participants can attend one or all sessions.

Topics include: understanding self-injury, building executive functioning skills, and technology and the teenage brain

Our first week of Confirmation classes were excellent. The students are very excited to start preparing for this sacrament. This week the candidates will be introduced to confirmation in which God strengthens us for the life to which we were called at baptism by being clothed in Christ and enlightened by Christ. Students please remember to bring a special article of clothing. Please include the nine candidates in our Confirmation preparation class in your

prayers. Thank you.

We would love to take a moment beginning next week for the month of November, to recognize and pray for all our loved ones that have departed.

Please send in a picture or eulogy card or prayer to add to our "Legal Titans Book of Remembrance".

We also will be displaying all the pictures handed in so we can all take a moment to reflect on and commemorate our loved ones who have passed. Pictures will be put in picture frames and afterward will be added to our book of Remembrance.

On Wednesday we recognized the GILLS (Growing in Love at Legal School) students who were nominated by their teachers for demonstrating Love in Action in the past two months. Father Ambrose came over for hot chocolate and donuts and visited with the students. It was a great way to experience fellowship and celebrate faith in our community.

We are proud of how our students are embracing the Faith Theme; Growing in Love with the Father and showing love towards others in kind and caring ways.

FOLSS will also be running the concession at the Craft & Trade Show during the day at the Citadel Centre. We are looking for volunteers for both the concession during the day and the movie night.

Here is a link for volunteer sign up.

Registration and order forms to will be sent to all families after Halloween to pre-purchase movie tickets and concession items.

We are planning for the Christmas Concert and more details about our concert theme will be announced after Fall Break!

Save the date for December 20th at 7 pm. Doors will open at 6:30 pm. Our teachers will be beginning to prepare the students in November and will be just the thing to put everyone in the spirit of the season!
