Dear SPA Parents;
Circle, Circle, Circle.. does that ring a bell? This is a friendly but firm reminder… we must circle the block in the afternoons! We can not block the streets. Last week was really bad and not because of the rain… This applies to the cars stacked up on Selby in front of Emerson as well as Holman. Please, it is really becoming a problem and complaints have been made… People are getting to school really early and just sitting.. The buses can not get through and local traffic can’t either. We are blocking the access from both Holman and Selby. Arrive a little later and you won’t have to circle. I really don’t like standing in the rain asking everyone to circle.. it isn’t good for the hair…just kidding.. but I am SERIOUS about the circling.
I hope that the Third grade families enjoyed your Potluck . It is a special time for your children to share with you, parents. Saturday, February 9th is the Past Presidents/Alumnae Luncheon… any questions, please direct to Kimberly Harold.
Save the Date for: Ski Trip February 29th to March 2nd any questions please contact Wendy Lightbourn or Anne Marie Scibelli. The SPA Golf Tournament will be at Mountain Gate Country Club on Monday, April 14th. Grandparents Day is Friday, April 25th and the Spring Event will be held on May 10th, more information to follow.
Have a great week: thought for the week:
Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.

Readings/Reflections
Readings for Sunday February 2
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reading 1
Zep 2:3;3:12-13
Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth,
who have observed his law;
seek justice, seek humility;
perhaps you may be sheltered
on the day of the LORD’s anger.
But I will leave as a remnant in your midst
a people humble and lowly,
who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD.
the remnant of Israel.
They shall do no wrong
and speak no lies;
nor shall there be found in their mouths
a deceitful tongue;
they shall pasture and couch their flocks
with none to disturb them.
Gospel
Mt 5:1-12a
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy,
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven.”

Student Activities
Musical Theatre
Here is the schedule for February. Don’t forget that if you are in grades 1st – 3rd you are considered the ensemble cast. So your rehearsals are on the days that say ensemble cast. Our bake sale is coming up on February 15th. You will be receiving information about how to get involved at rehearsal so be on the look out for that information. We are hoping to raise money so that the cast can have special musical theatre t-shirts. The show will be here before you know it! It’s very important that you show up to rehearsal. We only have about 12 rehearsals left! No matter what character you play, you are important to the show and it slows us down when you do not show up; everyone is counting on you!
