Announcements

It is essential for parents to embody the mission of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School by upholding Catholic values and adhering to the guidelines in our Parent/Student handbook. These values serve as the foundation for fostering a supportive, faith-centered community that nurtures moral development and academic excellence. By being role models, we ensure that our actions reflect the virtues of respect, compassion, and integrity that are at the heart of our Catholic identity. Adhering to the handbook’s guidelines helps maintain a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment where all students can thrive spiritually, academically, and socially, thus contributing to the school's mission of forming responsible, compassionate individuals.

In response to this, please take a moment to submit this short survey (only 10 questions). This will be the first of a five part series of short surveys to help us better serve you as the primary educator and disciplinarian of your child(ren).

Survey: Teaching Catholic Values and Behavior (Part 1 of 5)

Please keep those affected by Huricane Helena in your payers, especially the children and teachers in North Carolina. "Across western North Carolina, schools face weeklong to indefinite closures as school leaders take stock of their buildings, contact educators and staff, and try to communicate with families—all tasks made more difficult with power outages and disrupted cell reception. In the more mountainous regions of the state, where the scale of the devastation is unfolding slowly, school districts have had an even harder time getting in touch with their students and their families." - Education Week

We ask the Lord to watch over them and everyone affected by the storm. Help them remain strong in their faith.

If you would like to help here are a couple of resources:

• Red Cross Mobilizes Massive Relief Effort in Wake of Helene’s 500-Mile Path of Destruction
• Catholic Relief Services

The month of October is Earthquake Awareness Month. Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School will particiapte in the upcoming Great Shakeout scheduled for October 17. This simulation allows us to identify areas in need of resources should a magnitude 6 or greater earthquake were to occur during the school day.

LANCER ATHLETICS

Football and Volleyball News

We want to thank all of the parents for their generosity and team spirit regarding treats for after-game competitions. Please keep in mind that the standing rule, which all students adhere to regarding food and drink on the Field of Dreams, applies to both athletic practices and competitions. We ask that all treats be handed out at the exit gate leading to the parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation and for being good stewards of the field, as well as great role models for your children and the opposing teams.

Winter Season - Basketball Coming Soon

We will be sending out a Basketball Interest Form in the coming weeks to identify students interested in trying out for their respective basketball teams, so that we can begin planning for the season. We hope that all 5th-8th grade students who want to learn the fundamentals, improve their skills, and participate in basketball will sign up. The season runs from November 18 through the beginning of February. We will have more information regarding practices and games, but for now we hope to see your child(ren) come out and join our Lancer Athletics Program.

If you are interested in becoming a Lancer Athletics Sponsor providing addtional uniforms, watm-ups, etc. for our teams, please email Mr. McKee ([email protected]) for information.
