From the Principal:
Give thanks to God!
The world can sometimes be a frightening place, and when we
move away from God - away from Christ - we are most filled with
fears. We can find solace in the God's words when we are at
Mass, and the Gospel messages help us find safety and protection
in the new order of our world. Often the simple act of giving
thanks will evoke a spirit of calm and a spirit of empathy. We
give thanks for works from another person who has helped us,
and this act completes the circle for a positive relationship.
Giving thanks to God can be a most significant prayer in its
most unpretentious form. Sitting in Church can be a time when
so many of the world's problems fill our minds. The daily
distractions from the obligations of work or home can take away
from our time with God. Try this prayer: Thank you, thank you,
God. Thank you. If we keep our focus on thanking God and
"unceasingly calling to mind God's work of faith and labor of love
and endurance in hope," we will find that our minds become filled
with abundant images of the gifts we have: family, friends, the
gift of life, and this day and this moment that you have to spend
with God.

On October 3, Mr. Shane Imwalle,

presentation to our fifth grade
students about the importance of
maps. He shared examples of map
making in the past, present, and

enjoyed learning about lasers and
drones. Mr. Imwalle explained how
map coordinates, such as latitude
and longitude, are used by GPS systems. Thank you, Mr. Imwalle,
for visiting us and sharing these real-life applications of Social
Studies!

El Dia de los Muertosis Approaching!
This year we will again celebrate El Día de
los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in the
Exploratory Spanish classes. El Día de los
Muertos is a Mexican celebration that
honors family members that have passed
away. We will again construct a school
wide ofrenda (altar) to remember love ones
we have lost. Students are encouraged to bring photos of family
members or friends whom they would like to be honored and
remembered. Please make sure the photos are copies, no originals.
On the reverse side of the photo list the name of the deceased person
as well as the name and homeroom of the student at school so the
photo can be returned.
An authentic Mexican ofrenda not only displays photos of deceased
loved ones but also has some of their favorite food, too. In addition
to the photos students may bring in a non-perishable food item that
may have been a favorite of their relative. For example, my
grandmother loved to bake. To honor her, I may display her photo
and bring a box of brownies. All food that is collect to honor our
dead will be boxed up and donated to Incarnation School's canned
food drive.

CYO Golf End of Season Wrap Up
The Incarnation Golf Team had a great season.
Thank you to the 55 kids who participated in
the program and their families for their support
of the program.
The "end of the season" banquet was a huge
success. One hundred and fifty (yes 150 kids
and parents) people were in attendance to
witness and play "beat the pro" from 80 yards,
a chipping contest, prepared by the Alter boys
varsity team, break a real glass panel in "The BIG BREAK" challenge,
a 9 hole putting contest, and finish with the always popular HAPPY
GILMORE contest.
A special thanks to our editor each week,Charlotte Kunesh for her
submissions to the I-news of weekly updates. The many successes of
the golfers have been awesome.

As a recap for the CYO season the numbers show that EVERY
Incarnation golfer got better and had a fun learning experience.
The scores for each person dropped dramatically throughout the
year. We have a wonderful golf program and the hope is to provide
these young athletes an opportunity to learn a game they can play
for a lifetime.
A special shout out to Mark Lehner who pours countless hours into
making the program run very smoothly. He continues to drive the
program to new levels for the future.
After playing in over 20 matches and going 19-1 with three trophies
down at the Middle School Open in Cincinnati,paired with a big
undefeated season and a championship by our Girls team, there is no
doubt we have the best and deepest golf program in Southwest Ohio.
Thank you again for a wonderful season and we look forward to a
bright future and many younger kids signing up to begin their
Incarnation experience with the great game of golf. Look for future
opportunities to participate with the Incarnation CYO golf program
in the spring and registration for next fall. Go Crusaders!
