June 2015 VOL Students Teach Stewardship Students at Visitation of Our Lady School understand how to give service to others and exemplify the school's mission statement, "Inspiring Catholic Faith and Principles W hile Encouraging Academic Excellence." It’s one thing to learn about good stewardship at school, but to actually practice it, that’s something that takes effort. The school recently participated in the American Heart Association's Jump Rope for Heart event. The top three students contributing donations were fourth grader Sarah Walters, second grader Aiden Bucalan, and third grader Lily Bergeron. Two others students recently performed good deeds on their own. Second grader Savana Guill sold lemonade on National Lemonade Day to earn money for Team Jordan to support Jordan Sabio, a VOL student who is battling cancer. Third grader Kahlen Langlinais recently used her First Communion monetary gifts, along with donations from family members, to buy groceries to help restock the parish food bank for the summer. Visitation is very proud of these students! Fr. Mike often preaches and writes about being good stewards. We know our children are listening. Are we? When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything You gave me.” -Erma Bombeck -3-
