 4th Class Scoil Ursula pupil, Aoibhe Logan, has done it again. Three years after she wowed YouTube viewers with her version of Adele's 'Someone Like You', she has hit the headlines again. This time her performance of Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space' was picked up by the Evoke.ie website who described her as 'Ireland's Taylor Swift'. Check out the link below.
http://www.evoke.ie/video/irish-taylor-swift/#  Today is St. Angela's Day.
Angela Merici, or Angela de Merici, (21 March 1474 – 27 January 1540) was an Italian religious educator, who is honoured as a saint by the Catholic Church. She founded the Company of St. Ursula in 1535 in Brescia, in which women dedicated their lives to the service of the Church through the education of girls. From this organization later sprang the monastic Order of Ursulines, whose nuns established places of prayer and learning throughout Europe and, later, worldwide, most notably in North America. She died on this day in 1540.  Dear Parents and Families,
All next week, our school will be celebrating Catholic Schools Week. This annual celebration of Catholic education gives us all the opportunity to be more aware of the unique contribution that our Catholic schools make to Irish life. Our theme this year is Catholic Schools: Called to Serve. During this week we invite you to take time to reflect on the service that Catholic schools give to children, parents, families and communities. We also ask you to consider how best you can offer support to the service that your child’s Catholic school provides in so many different ways. These are some ideas for you to try: Monday: We are Called to Serve with Love Pray the Morning Prayer with your child today: Father in heaven, you love me, You’re with me night and day. I want to love you always In all I do and say. I’ll try to please you, Father, Bless me through the day. Amen. Tuesday: We are Called to Serve with Kindness Help your child do an Act of Random Kindness today. Wednesday: We are Called to Serve with Joy Today is Grandparents’ Day. Take time to make a card for a grandparent/s with your child today. Thank them for all the joy they bring to your lives. There is a card-making activity suitable for all classes on page 21 of the CSW Book. Ask your teacher for a copy. Thursday: We are Called to Serve with Truth Bring your child to visit the church today. Bless each other with holy water, light a candle and say a prayer of thanksgiving for the teachers in your child’s school. Friday: We are Called to Serve with Justice Think of something to do today that will make God’s world a better place. Pick up some litter, switch off lights that are not needed, go for a walk with your child and notice the beauty of God’s world. |
