Lent Pray40 challenge
Over the course of Lent, we have been encouraging the students to join the Lent Pray40 challenge through Hallow. The Pray40 challenge is a challenge to pray daily using meditations and prayers from "He Leadeth Me," which is the story of Fr. Walter Ciszek's experience and suffering in soviet prisons and labor camps during World War II. His story can teach us a great deal of how to trust in God during times of great suffering. Please encourage your daughters to join the challenge if they haven't done so already! It is not too late! Please also keep praying for all the students throughout this lent and for the rest of the year! If they have questions, please direct them to their Theology teacher. Thank you.

Bullying/Harassment Policy
Bullying is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming and humiliating others and is characterized by a power imbalance between the two parties. Bullying includes, but is not limited to physical or verbal aggression, relational aggression, or emotional aggression (teasing, threatening, and intimidating others). Relational aggression (RA), is a form of indirect bullying that uses social relationships to manipulate or harm others, such as isolating a student
from her group of friends (social exclusion), threatening to stop talking to a
friend (the ''silent treatment''), or spreading gossip and rumors. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, comments, or other offensive conduct relating to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. Bullying, relational aggression (including cyber-bullying), and harassment will not be tolerated. Please use the forms below to report bullying.
