Quote of the Week: "Easter is the
demonstration of God that life is essentially
spiritual and timeless." ~ Charles M.
Crowe
In preparation for the new building, the Main
Office will move over Spring Break. When we
return on Tuesday, April 6th, the
Main Entrance will now be through door #4.
Door #4 is located off the front
northeast parking lot.
Parents,
this article is worth the time to read. It is
written by a Harvard trained neurologist. She
talks about why teenagers act the way they do and
why it is so maddening to us.

Hope you all have a safe
and fun Spring Break and a Happy
Easter.

designed for all ages to enjoy. Activities
include: speed pitch, hockey shot, bungee run,
dunk tank, ping pong, bags, face painting, kiddie
games, bingo, snow cones, food and much, much
more! The activities will run from 5-8pm.

together and all are again welcome to join.
We hope this will be a night of unity and
community, and we certainly hope to see you
there!

raffle. This is not an obligation, just an
invitation if there were any items that could run
from $5-$30 - gift certificates, small baskets,
small items of interest - whatever! If this is
something that touches your heart and you were
looking for something to do - this would be
great. Any questions or donations, please

ST. FRANCIS TAKES PART IN NATIONAL
ALCOHOL and DRUG RECOVERY MONTH
As part of
the National Alcohol and Drug Recovery Month,
which aims to motivate individuals who need help
to get treatment and to raise public awareness
about alcoholism and drug addiction, the Guidance
and Counseling Department will offer confidential
alcohol and drug screenings and informational
meetings throughout the month of April. If you are
interested in finding out more information, please
contact Mrs. Rupp at ext. 1104 or Ms. Sullivan at
ext.1108.
Since early detection of alcoholism
and drug addiction can increase the likelihood
of successful recovery, knowing the warning
signs is important:
- Blackouts.
Periods of time after drinking that cannot be
remembered.
- Tolerance.
Requiring increasingly larger amounts of alcohol
to experience the same effect.
- Physical
withdrawal symptoms. These may include nausea as
well as shaking, sweating, confusion and
hallucinations (delirium tremens) while not
drinking. Delirium tremens (also known as "the
DTs") is the most serious symptom of acute
alcohol withdrawal.
- Legal,
relationship, financial problems.
- Anhedonia.
Loss of interest in once pleasurable activities.
- Unusual
drinking habits. These may include drinking
alone or in secret, gulping drinks or making a
ritual of having drinks before, during and after
dinner.
- Irritability.
Feeling irritable when drinking patterns are
disrupted.
