Dear Parishioners,<br />

PASTOR’S COLUMN<br />

When I came to Saint <strong>Raphael</strong> <strong>the</strong> Archangel Parish almost<br />

four years ago, our current graduating 8th graders<br />

were just entering 5th grade. They were <strong>the</strong> first class<br />

that I trained to serve here at <strong>the</strong> parish. This weekend<br />

we celebrate <strong>the</strong>ir graduation from <strong>the</strong> 8th grade during<br />

our 10:00 a.m. Sunday Mass. As we ga<strong>the</strong>r as a parish<br />

for this celebration, we come to pledge to <strong>the</strong>m our support<br />

and prayers. Most importantly we need to assure<br />

<strong>the</strong>m that <strong>the</strong>y are always welcome at Saint <strong>Raphael</strong>.<br />

Please keep <strong>the</strong>m in your prayers as <strong>the</strong>y make <strong>the</strong><br />

transition to high school. A special word of thanks to<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir parents for <strong>the</strong>ir continued and ever faithful support<br />

of <strong>the</strong>ir sos or daughters.<br />

God greatly blessed us this past weekend with wonderful wea<strong>the</strong>r for our Annual Parish<br />

Picnic. The grounds of our parish were full of children, parents and excitement on Friday<br />

evening and all day Saturday. It took over 400 volunteer hours to make this picnic a success<br />

so <strong>the</strong>re are many people to thank. A special<br />

word of thanks to Paul Beckerle for accepting <strong>the</strong><br />

role of picnic chair and working to help keep everyone<br />

on target. Each organization helped in one<br />

fashion or ano<strong>the</strong>r so my deep thanks to <strong>the</strong><br />

Men’s Club for heading up <strong>the</strong> BBQ and beer/<br />

soda booths, <strong>the</strong> Ladies’ Club for helping with<br />

desserts and t-shirts, <strong>the</strong> PTA for helping to staff our game booths,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> Parish Council for pitching in with <strong>the</strong> organization of <strong>the</strong><br />

picnic. There are many o<strong>the</strong>r individuals who gave personally of<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir time so thank you so, so much.<br />

The last day of school, Friday, May 24, is fast approaching and soon our school halls will be empty of students.<br />

As <strong>the</strong>y leave us for summer vacation, let us keep <strong>the</strong>m in our prayers for a safe return to school in<br />

August. During <strong>the</strong> Summer months, <strong>the</strong>re will be much to accomplish in our school from cleaning to painting.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> next few weeks, you may be asked to help out in one way or ano<strong>the</strong>r. Your generous help will aid<br />

us in preparing our school to be in <strong>the</strong> best shape possible to welcome our students back for <strong>the</strong> 2013-2014<br />

academic year.<br />

This past Monday on <strong>the</strong> Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, 22 women<br />

of our parish made a consecration to our Blessed Mo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

Through <strong>the</strong>ir participation in a do-it-yourself retreat called<br />

“33 Days to Morning Glory,” <strong>the</strong>se ladies learned more about <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

faith and deepened <strong>the</strong>ir commitment to <strong>the</strong> Lord through devotion<br />

to our Blessed Mo<strong>the</strong>r. For myself, it was inspiring to see <strong>the</strong> response<br />

of <strong>the</strong> women to this retreat and to see <strong>the</strong>ir excitement as<br />

well. Their witness reminds us all of how important devotion to<br />

Our Lady is and how it deepens our relationship to Christ.<br />

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION<br />

“The Counselor, <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit whom <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r<br />

will send in my name, will teach you everything and<br />

remind you of all that I told you.” (John 14:26)<br />

The materialism of our society lures us to concentrate<br />

more on what we want than on what God wants<br />

for us and from us. It is good to know that, when we<br />

are confused by our stewardship responsibilities, we<br />

can call on <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit to show us <strong>the</strong> way.<br />

Dear <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Raphael</strong> School Families and Parishioners,<br />

PRINCIPAL’S COLUMN<br />

As <strong>the</strong> school year comes to a close, we will be saying farewell to our 8th Graders, <strong>the</strong> Class of 2013. Graduation<br />

is a bittersweet time for our students and families, a combination of excitement for <strong>the</strong> future, fond<br />

memories of <strong>the</strong> past, and sadness about leaving <strong>the</strong>ir parish school home. We pray that our 8th Grade students<br />

follow God’s path for <strong>the</strong>m, that <strong>the</strong>y keep Jesus close in <strong>the</strong>ir hearts, and that <strong>the</strong>y always remember<br />

<strong>the</strong> parish community of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Raphael</strong> <strong>the</strong> Archangel.<br />

Continued on next page<br />

Pentecost Sunday May 19, 2013


I’d like to take this opportunity to reflect on this past school year, a “Year in Review,” if you will. We made<br />

a number of positive changes at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Raphael</strong> <strong>the</strong> Archangel School this year, including:<br />

• Returned to traditional schedule which brought peace and order back to our school<br />

• Provided 8th Grade with its own classroom again<br />

• Offered <strong>St</strong>andard and Challenge Math for Grades 6-8<br />

• Created 3 lunch periods, resulting in quieter and smoo<strong>the</strong>r lunch time<br />

• Tweaked Library size, schedule, and purpose to meet student needs<br />

• Implemented weekly e-newsletter, The Guide, for <strong>the</strong> school community<br />

• Focused on differences in learning across all grade levels<br />

• Added a regularly scheduled school counselor<br />

• Utilized Learning Consultant to provide classroom and testing accommodations for all students with special<br />

learning needs<br />

• Upgraded testing process and results for students with special learning needs<br />

• Improved communication between school and families of students with special needs<br />

• Offered regular Spanish instruction for all students K-8<br />

• Held quarterly informal parent feedback ga<strong>the</strong>rings with <strong>the</strong> Principal<br />

• Re-focused school community on implementation of existing discipline policy<br />

• Transformed professional conversation and exchange of ideas among teachers through concentrated professional<br />

development focused on best practices in education<br />

There were some bumps in <strong>the</strong> road as well, of course. Our biggest challenge this year was <strong>the</strong> implementation<br />

of PowerSchool, our online school information system. We continue to try to learn this complex system<br />

and to make it work in <strong>the</strong> best possible way for our school. Our implementation of <strong>the</strong> uniform policy<br />

seemed inconsistent at times, with varying opinions about shoes and <strong>the</strong> colors allowed. We also did not hold<br />

students in <strong>the</strong> primary grades as accountable for following uniform policy as we did students in <strong>the</strong> intermediate<br />

and upper grades. I plan to rectify that for next school year with some clearer policies for uniforms that<br />

will, hopefully, be easier to follow. And our communication between school and parents was a bit bumpy at<br />

first. The addition of Flock Notes, and <strong>the</strong> publication of our school Buzz Book helped improve communication,<br />

and we will start <strong>the</strong> next school year with all of those important tools in place.<br />

Looking forward, we are excited about some of <strong>the</strong> positive changes in store for 2013-2014:<br />

• Daily Mass<br />

• Writing of a new curriculum PreK-8<br />

• <strong>St</strong>rings Program (violin instruction for PreK-8), more info coming!<br />

• 2 Math classes per day for Grades 6-8<br />

• Mobile technology for classrooms, laptops and/or ipads<br />

• <strong>St</strong>andard and Challenge Math, English, and Literature for Grades 6-8<br />

• Middle School free-time lunch period<br />

• Bellarmine Speech curriculum to add to 6-8 extra offerings, in addition to History Day and Science Fair<br />

• Phasing out use of pre-made workbooks in a number of classes and grade levels<br />

• Adding more focus on hands-on activities which encourage critical thinking<br />

These changes and additions will make us even stronger than before as we strive to provide <strong>the</strong> absolute best<br />

possible Catholic education in town. Thanks so much to <strong>the</strong> parish community for supporting our wonderful<br />

Catholic school. With your prayers and support, we are able to do amazing things for our students. Please<br />

continue to keep all of us in your prayers as we end this school year and look forward to <strong>the</strong> next. And remember,<br />

“It’s always a great day to be an Angel!”<br />

Peace and Blessings,<br />
