OUR LADY ACADEMY MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS 

Monday, November 13, 2023 

Good Morning OLA!   Today is Monday, November 13, 2023.  

Please stand for our morning prayer as we remember that we are in the presence of God.  

1 John 2:15-16  Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes, and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world.

Thoughts on today's verse:  Love for things, especially temporary ones, can sure get us in trouble. Even worse, we can begin to think they will make us happy or fill the empty places in our hearts. But if we really place our hopes and dreams in our Abba Father, we are attached to eternity, and what we need most is always with us!

Prayer:

Give me wisdom, Holy God, to invest in you and things that matter. I confess to you that my eyes and my heart are often distracted by the glitzy stuff that is temporary. By your Spirit, O Father, stir my heart to yearn for you. Through Jesus I pray, Amen. 
In Jesus' name we pray,

 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

 

Our Father, Who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Please remain standing for the Pledge:

I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 

IMPORTANT MESSAGES

Attention All National Honor Society Members_
In RECOGNITION OF HOMELESSNESS AND HUNGER AWARENESS WEEK, there will be a special presentation on Tuesday, November 14th by Open Doors Coalition at lunch. Please plan to attend as this meeting will be part of the required NHS individual service requirements. A special drive to collect household items for families who have been newly homed will begin tomorrow afternoon.

 

The Student Council will be sponsoring a turkey teacher contest. Council members have placed a turkey for each teacher in the gap. We sell “feathers” to be added to the turkey for $1. For $2, a person can take a feather off a turkey. Student Council members will sell the feathers, keep track of the number sold, and glue the feathers on daily. On the Thursday before Thanksgiving, they will announce the name of the teacher with the most feathers–the turkey teacher–who will proudly wear a turkey suit on Friday! 

We aim to raise $500 to purchase a second swing for the courtyard and help kick off OLA’s I Give Catholic appeal!!   BRING YOUR DOLLARS! WHO WILL BE STRUTTING AND TURKEY TROTTING THE HALLWAYS!  Gobble Gobble 

NJHS is hosting a Penny Wars fundraiser for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence! The turkey banks for each grade can be found in front of Mrs. Tolar's room. Whichever grade donates the most money will earn a cozy free dress day of sweatpants, appropriate t-shirts, sweatshirts, and tennis shoes next Friday! Every penny counts as one point for that grade, and silver coins or paper bills take away a point. You can put paper bills or silver coins in other grades' turkeys to target another grade. Have fun! 

Teachers:  Please take daily attendance and also enter yours and your student’s lunch selection.  

Today’s Menu: Chicken Fried Rice and Egg Roll; or Soup and Salad Bar.  Today’s soup is Broccoli, Cheese and Bacon. 

At this time, all students please stand for the daily uniform and cell phone check.  

That’s all from WOLA, Have a Great Day!
