1 Immaculate Conception School North Little Rock, Arkansas Falcon Forum February 2019 Volume 5, Issue 6 Letter from your PTO Board Greetings, Parents! We are one month in on our New Year Resolutions and How are you faring? Are you standing firm? Did you have to make adjustments? I read a thought-provoking meme recently, and thought I would share. Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger Men and Women. Together we can stand resolute, and the PTO is cooking up some fun ways to get together! Mark your calendars for these upcoming treats! 3/9- Ladies Night Bingo 4/6 - Trivia Night Thank you for supporting IC PTO; together we make IC Great! Jonathan Niotis PTO President Third grade was the spotlight class for January. They raised money to help the Bee Guys of The Van buy not one but two brand-new bee suits. The Van is part of The One, an organization dedicated to assisting the homeless of central Arkansas. Awesome job, third grade!

2 In fourth grade religion, the students recently completed a unit on making good choices. They learned that bad choices bind us in a yoke of slavery to sin. With their parents help, the students looked up Bible passages that explain how following God s laws can free us from slavery to sin and lead us to true freedom. Find our poster by the school office that shows the keys to freedom. Mrs. Roca Sixth grade survived Catholic Schools Week!! What an action-packed week full of fun and celebration. We are all so blessed to be a part of this Catholic School community! The 6th grade science fair is officially underway. Topics have been turned in, and we are working on our problem statements!!
