"The School Exam" by Albert Anker (1862)
PRAYER of ST. TERESA OF JESUS: Her feast is Thursday, Oct. 15
Let nothing affright thee,
Nothing dismay thee.
All is passing,
God ever remains.
Patience obtains all.
Whoever possesses God
Cannot lack anything
God alone suffices.
MID-TERM TESTING BEGINS: We have our first set of semester exams this week and next. Classes have varied exam schedules in order to ensure there aren't too many at one time. Check the dashboard schedule carefully--tests are administered LIVE! Be sure to prioritize exams over other work; they are worth much more of your grade than the homework. Good luck and God speed on all your tests!
PARENT PROCTORS FOR EXAMS: There must be a parent proctor supervising the entirety of the exam. Parents and students, please coordinate with each other to make sure an approved proctor is present during the LIVE exam. Parents, contact the office if you have serious conflicts.
PRAYERS FOR ALL CLT-TAKERS THIS SATURDAY!
All Oxrose Juniors and Seniors join in CLT testing this Saturday. We will be praying for them! If a student will NOT be taking the exam, Mrs. Mary MUST know ASAP. We can reschedule to the January date or remove them from the testing. Just a reminder that this was included in everyone's registration fee this year.
Let us work to be prayerful regarding tests this week: ask God for help to prepare thoroughly, ask for assistance as you take the exam, and give thanks and glory to God for your successes (and failures by which you learn). May Christ be our companion in all!
Congratulations to our CLT 10 Regional Award Winners:
- Dominica Palermo - West Region
- Gabrielle Schertzer - Northeast Region
PILGRIMS HAVE RETURNED!
