Announcements

• IOWA test givers needed
  IOWA testing (St. Valentine’s standardized test given yearly) is coming soon. As a part of the legal compliance for the administration of the IOWA test, students with special documented circumstances are given readers or alternate test locations within our building.
  
  For this reason we need volunteer IOWA test readers who are able to donate hours during the school day to sit with individual students for test taking.
  
  If you are able to help us out any morning from Oct. 7-18 as an IOWA reader, we would greatly appreciate it. Volunteer hours are available to IOWA test proctors. Please contact the school office by phone or by note if you are able to help.

From the desk of Mrs. Damuth:

St. Valentine School Year Theme 2018-2019:   They will know we are Christians by our love!

Virtue for September: Learning what the word virtue means

God of wisdom and might,
we praise you for the wonder of our being,
for mind, body and spirit.
Be with our children as they begin
a new school year.
Bless them and their teachers and staff.
Give the strength and grace as their bodies grow;
wisdom and knowledge to their minds
as they search for understanding;
and peace and zeal to their hearts.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
