WEEKLY NEWS
HOLY WEEK- MARCH 31, 2021
ANCHORED IN HOPE
Dear Panther Families,
During this most holy week of the Church calendar, as we prepare for our risen Lord on Easter Sunday,
Holy Week concludes the forty days of Lent during which we prepare for Jesus’ coming with almsgiving,
fasting, and prayer.
To commemorate Holy Thursday we have a video presentation of our 8th graders reenacting the Last
Supper.
To commemorate Good Friday, our 8th graders renact the Living Stations of the Cross.
Our students, K-8 will have the opportunity to view these presentations in their classes. Our school
community begins Easter break at noon on Good Friday, April 2nd. Students will be asked to leave in
silence in reverence for the day that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Please take time to pause,
reflect, and experience the importance of the Triduum and Easter in our lives.
Register here for our parish Triduum celebrations:
Holy Thursday Mass of Lord's Supper 7 PM
Good Friday Station 3 PM with Fr. John
Service of the Passion of our Lord 7 PM
Holy Saturday Easter Vigil 7 PM
Easter Sunday 8 AM and 10 AM
Thanks again to all those who have contributed to the Lenten Food Drive! Your thoughtful donations will
help those struggling to put food on their tables. The students worked hard to meet their goal of over
3000 food items! They surpassed our goal by over 1,000 items, totalling 4,164 food items donated to our
St. Vincent de Paul Conference for those in need! In return, I will fulfill the promise of being slimed soon
after Easter Break, when students return to campus.
Finally, 5th through 8th grade Band is back! Monday, April 12th at 7:45 AM Band will resume in-person in
the parish hall! Not currently on the roster? No problem! Just email Miss McKamey,
mckameyf@kennedyhs.org, before Friday, April 9th.
Easter blessings to all our Panther Families,
Eve Ruiz

Chromebook Help Needed, again, please.
Thanks to our amazing community of families and parishioners, we have admitted 22
new students since September! Great News!
As a result, we have run out of Chromebooks. Alas, we need 15 more Chromebooks for
our students and need your help to purchase them.
Thanks to your generosity, in a few short months we went from a cart of 20 devices
shared by 4 classrooms to 1 device per student. Amazing! Thank you!
Please consider making a gift to support our brilliant students and intrepid teachers -
every gift of any size helps.
$293 gets us 1 Chromebook with licensing and $147 is the average gift given to St. B.
Please prayerfully consider how you can help us meet the needs of our learners, and
make a gift here.
How are Chromebooks used? Glad you asked - students use Chromebooks in the
following ways: STEMscopes science; writing assignments; math and reading work and
practice; religion class; free time to play games that reinforce math and reading skills,
research and writing. Our talented teachers and students are using their new tools every
day. Thank you!
