From the Principal:
Thankful for this community!
Every week, there are so many
reasons to be thankful about the
opportunities this community offers.
This past Sunday evening, the PTOsponsored Spaghetti Dinner was a
delightfully tasty event that offered
fun activities as well. After a
delicious meal of Mamma DiSalvo's
spaghetti, salad, and family-donated desserts, children were able
to go outside to enjoy balloon sculptures, crafts, games, and Mr.
Snowie on a beautiful evening. Congratulations on a job well-done
goes to Mrs. Cynthia Jecker and Mrs. Helen Ellis-Jauch, who CoChaired this PTO program. Of course, they would be quick to say
that none of it would have been possible without the help of a
myriad of volunteers.
Grandparent/Special Friend Bingo was exceptionally wellattended this year, with 880 students meeting with 1,300
grandparents, parents and special friends on Monday. Mrs. Cynthia
Jecker was the Bingo Caller (we love the Bingo necklace, Mrs.
Jecker!), and Incarnation had some very famous special visitors:
UD's Mascot, Rudy, attended and worked with our Crusader
Woman (seventh grade students Jenna Ouellette and Robin
Zelinski) to the amusement and the fun of all. Thanks to Mrs.
Ellen Miller, Program Coordinator, for a great day! She also
deferred to the many volunteers whose sole purpose was to make
this a fun day for everyone - and they succeeded!
On Tuesday evening, as an Alter Board Member and Principal of
Incarnation, I was invited to Alter's President's Reception to honor
four recipients of the Knights Council Scholarship. The award is
based on recommendations from school administrators and teachers
who can attest to the spirituality as well as superior academics.
From among many applications, three of the four Alter freshman
honored were from Incarnation School and included: Abigail
Bishop, Lauren Conroy, and Adam White. All gave speeches that
told of the merits of their Catholic education and the importance
that God played in their lives. Attending donors were able to see
their "gifts in action" as the students expressed gratitude for being
able to attend Alter High School.
Another great week to continue our mission to walk in the
footsteps of Jesus!

Mass Matters
What is the Kingdom of Heaven like?
October 5, 2014 Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary time
Gospel Reading: Matthew 21:43
As a community of believers, we are invited to be joyful because
of the love of Christ. Commit yourself to sharing your faith with
your children by attending weekly Mass together as a family.
Through our faith practices and the traditions of the school, Fr.
Stretch has asked that we make spreading the good news of our
Lord our vision and goal. No other goal is more important than
bringing Christ to those we meet. An overview of this week's
readings may be found at the following web site:
http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/100514.cfm. For our
younger children, families may want to visit the Catholic Moms'
website (see Sunday's Gospel) at: http://catholicmom.com.
Feast Day of the Guardian Angels
Fr. Brian spoke to the Incarnation students on Thursday about the
Feast of the Guardian Angels. Click below to watch is morning

Feast of the Guardian Angels
Grandparent Bingo Attendance at Record HIGH!
Each year the Incarnation students welcome their
loved ones, grandparents, and special guests to a
session of BINGO. In the past this event has been
held during Catholic Schools Week and usually
the January weather causes havoc on the day of
the event. Bingo was held this past Monday with
much success. Students and guest filled the
Incarnation Gym with smiles and the desire to fill their Bingo Card
and win a special prize. A surprise guest appearance from Rudy
Flyer was welcomed by all! Take a moment to watch the attached
video of this annual event and mark your calendar to attend next
year!

Rosary Making
Seventh Grade Girls spend lunch time

children who are preparing for the
sacrament of First Communion.
Foreign Language Volunteers needed for Rosary Rally
The Rosary Rally will take place on Oct. 12 at 2:30 - 4:00 pm at the
University of Dayton. Archbishop Schnurr will be this year's
presider. When the Rosary is recited, the first half of the Hail Mary
will be said in several foreign languages.
Incarnation students are blessed with a wonderful Foreign Language
program and most of our students can say the Hail Mary in Spanish.
Some can say it in French and German, too! If you would like to
lead the Hail Mary in your foreign language, please join us! We
would like 50 people (adults and students) who can recite the first
half of one Hail Mary in any language they can. If you are
interested, see your Foreign Language Teacher, Madame Shockey,
Senora Ferraro, Senora Berling or Frau Burkman to sign up. Merci!

Father Brian came into the second grade
classrooms to talk about the special
Sacrament of Baptism. The second
graders have been learning about
Baptism and the Church Community.
Father Brian was able to share his
knowledge and a lot of the things he uses
when he baptizes someone into the
Church. The second graders were able to ask Father Brian questions
and really enjoyed having him in the classroom.
4th Grade Invertebrates!
Lions and tigers and hermit crabs!?!?
Fourth grade students have begun
their animal unit and are currently
studying invertebrates. Hermit Crabs
made a visit to the classrooms when
the daily subject was arthropods.
Students observed hermit crab
behavior, labeled a diagram, and
learned about exoskeletons. There was lots of laughter when
hermit crabs tried to climb the sides of the slippery specimen trays
and escape! Stay tuned to see who visits when fourth graders move
onto vertebrates!

First Grade visits the Fire Station!
The First Graders visited the Fire Station
last week to learn about Fire Safety. We
took a tour of the station and also got to
go inside a fire truck. Did you know that
a fire station is just like any other home,
with a kitchen, living room and
bedrooms? We learned that it is
important to practice fire drills at home,
just like we do at school!
