Reflection
God, You are worthy to be praised! When I look around me, I see hints of Your glory everywhere. When I look at the sky, I am in awe of Your greatness. And, when I listen to nature, I am amazed at Your creativity. Nothing compares to You, and there is no on like You. Thank You for giving us glimpses of Your splendor! In Jesus' name, Amen.

Home and School Announcements
Welcome families...old and new! This year's theme,"Growing to Serve" is very fitting as it relates to the Home and School Association's purpose.
The Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School Home and School Association (HSA) is the organization of parents who have chosen to participate more fully in the service of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School by organizing fundraising activities, and by providing funds that directly benefit the students, faculty, the general plant, and equipment. Examples of what the Association provides funds for include improvements to maintain up-to-date technological programs and infrastructure, physical plant maintenance, security, and teacher benefits. We do so through fundraising activities and events that serve to build upon the SJDL community and spirit. Equally important, the Association also organizes fundraising activities which provide academic scholarships for students who otherwise would not be able to attend the School.
The Association does not act independently. It is an integral component of the school, which serves as a consultative or advisory organization for fundraising, community building activities, and other projects as requested by the school Administration. The Association does not seek to direct the Administration or to control its policies, procedures, or curriculum.
Grow by Serving Today!
As parents you are all members and you are encouraged to actively participate by attending the HSA monthly meetings, volunteering to assist with the many activities and events throughout the year, and/or contributing by other means such as your talents, services or donations as you feel appropriate.
We are asking that each family take a quick read and submit the HSA Volunteer Form by Friday, September 2.
Mark Your Calendars for HSA sponsored events (or check the school app calendar)!

Thank you for not asking the staff to access the Clothes Closet as they do not have the time to leave the office. *Please note that the September first Monday of the Month lands on Labor Day, so we will announce a new date to accommodate this change due to the holiday. Again, please contact Amy Nguen or Shelly Adams if you have any questions.
