Reflection
"And this is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands. AS you have heard from the beginning, His command is that you walk in love. - 2 John 1:6
Jesus, thank You for showing me how to love others by the way You lived Your life. Sometimes it is hard to love people, but I want to love them because You love them. Give me opportunities each day to show love to those who need You. Amen.
SJDL Altar Server Ministry
The primary role of the Altar Server at Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School is to assist the priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass. Students in grades 5-8 will receive their training from faculty or parent moderator, and then they are scheduled to serve at a school Mass. Our SJDL Altar Servers are also encouraged to offer their service at their respective parishes.
If you would like your child to be part of the Altar Server Ministry at Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School, please submit the form below. An Altar Sever Coordinator will contact you with information regarding our before school sessions to learn about Altar Serving.

Halloween Costume Day Monday, October 31
We are excited to be able to once again have our Student Council members host the Halloween Costume Parade and Spirit Assembly in the Gym from 8:30am-10:00am on Monday, October 31.
As parents and students plan costumes, please keep the following in mind regarding the policies of the school:
- No violent/gory or excessively scary costumes and/or make-up allowed.
- No toy weapons, weaponry, toys that might give the impression of a weapon, etc.
- No risqué, inappropriate, revealing or “cross dressing” type of costume.
We encourage students to plan their costumes so that they will be comfortable, have fun and adhere to the school’s values and mission. Tank you for taking appropriate steps in advance to discuss costume choices as the primary educator of your child(ren).
If you have any questions regarding costume guidelines, please contact Sr. Cecilia or Mrs. Spillman as soon as possible (e.g. take a picture and send it to Sister for approval).
Placing student emotional needs before their grades leads to a learning environment where they are allowed to take their time comprehending the material and not internalize a fear of failure. The eased pressure allows for a more welcoming environment, which would grow their love of learning. We recognize that education does not simply extend to academics, but to personal happiness and identity; and learning about one’s self is all too often overlooked by the traditional grading system.
