Epiphany Catholic School
FOCUS
Volume 32 Issue 10
February 2015
Dear Parents,
Epiphany School Celebrated Catholic Schools Week
Thank you Jesus
for the gift of our Catholic School
that lights the way to You.
Thank you that we can learn about our faith
and pray and worship
with our teachers and friends.
Thank you for our Priests and Teachers
who guide us so wisely.
Thank you for our Parents and Guardians
who sacrifice to send us to Epiphany Catholic School.
We have much to celebrate at Epiphany. During this school year the Epiphany community has continued to demonstrate a commitment to assisting others with our involvement in the baby shower for St. Martin de Porres, Thanksgiving
food drive, and volunteering to serve food to the homeless. The first grade baked Christmas cookies and made sandwiches for the people at Camillus House, and we sponsored a Christmas toy drive at St. Martin’s. In the beginning of
December we held our annual Candy Cane Drive, which raised $6,000.00 for our sister school in Haiti. In January we
continued our Shower with Blessings and monthly casseroles efforts. The children have the desire to help those in
need, and as a school community we try to provide opportunities for the students to share what they have with others.
Upcoming Events:
Book Fair February 9-February 13
Class Picture Day February 11
Presidents Day February 16 School Holiday
IOWA Testing Gr. 2-8, March 2-6
The Lord has blessed our community with a loving support system that energizes and challenges us to
be and do our best. May we continue to share our giftedness with each other as we daily live Our Lord’s message of
love.
God bless,
Sister Margaret Fagan, IHM

Safety Issues
 Please do not use your cell phone
while driving around campus.
 The parking lot by the cafeteria and
parish center is for faculty only. During
the morning drop off we have families who
pull into that area to drop off their child
(ren). It has becoming very dangerous and
is a serious safety concern. There are three
families who have reserved parking spots
in this lot and they should be the only families who enter this area.
 If you need to walk your child (ren)
into school you are asked to park in the lots
in front of the church and walk behind the
cones. Some families are parking in the
side lot of church facing school and crossing in between cars. This is an accident
waiting to happen. Please do not put the
safety of your children or any child in danger.
 At dismissal all families are asked to
use car pool or singles when picking up a
child. No one should park in a side lot and
walk to car pool to pick up a child. Again,
families are crossing in the midst of traffic
and it is extremely dangerous.
 Please come to the office to sign in if
you are visiting anywhere on campus. This
does include the cafeteria
