I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Catholic Schools Week...Here we come...

Last night, my school kicked off Catholic Schools Week with our annual faculty/8th grade basketball game. As defending champions, we (the teachers) were up for the challenge. (Personally, I hadn't touched a basketball since the same game last year, but I didn't play much, so it all worked out. Because when I say that I played, I use that term very loosely.) And we ended up pulling ahead for a victory by 2 points. Surprisingly, most of the students were on our side, so it was fun to have them there and cheering in such large numbers. They really are great kids...

I'm looking forward to our celebration of National Catholic Schools Week, complete with grandparents' day, academic activities, a service project, appreciation days, Mass, and more!
