Lenten Promises

Last week, in addition to hosting the Ask Wednesday mass, we learned many details about Lent, Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, etc.  Each student also pledged to either do something positive or give up something for Lent.  We placed the papers with their pledges in our Lenten Promises container, which is displayed on our prayer table. 

 The students are encouraged to keep this promise for all of Lent - both at home and school.  Should they stray, they are encouraged to put that behind them and continue - no one is perfect. 

Each student was also asked to make a classroom pledge with a positive spin.  One of these will be chosen at random, posted each day, and the entire class is asked to try their best to fulfill that promise each day.  I will try to post them early each morning, because I know that some students and parents check the blog each morning, so you will prepare yourself to follow through with the promise of the day.

  Today's classroom Lenten Promise is:  stay seated during class and lunch.
