🐝 We can't bee-lieve that tomorrow is the 1st day of school! That also means it's time for our last "Bedtime Story for Bees". Mrs. Bishop is reading "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut" this evening by Dr. Seuss. Enjoy the story & get to bed on time so you can get up early for school tomorrow - we can't wait to see all of your smiling faces again!

Students from SMS and all schools were invited, and each child received a special SMS pen as a gift. We’d like to wish everyone a happy, safe school year filled with lots of learning and growing!

Our hearts are shocked & saddened by the news out of Minneapolis today. Our prayers are with the victims, their families, & the entire Annunciation school & parish community.

Lord, have mercy.
Your little ones were taken from us today while gathered at your altar. We can hardly breathe under the weight of it.

Hold these children close in Your arms. Hold their mothers who will never again tuck them in. Hold their fathers, their siblings, their friends, their teachers. Hold every parent whose heart trembles with fear sending their children into the world.

Jesus, we weep with You now.
Bring comfort where there are no words, and give us courage to be peacemakers in a world that so desperately needs Your light.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.

Prayer by Erica Tighe Campbell, Be a Heart

⛅️ Parents, please pay attention to the weather this evening. If it is raining, Popsicles with the Principal will be cancelled. The gym floor has just been waxed so there is nowhere to play. If it isn't raining, we will be on the playground as planned! 🤞
