DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Friday January 23th
Join Peer Support in the SRC today at lunch for a special mental health theme Kahoot to celebrate Bell Mental Health day and the end of exam stress!
Can we have all students who volunteered for David Adomako-Ansah Tournament please meet in P1, Mrs. Ostapowicz room for a short meeting at the beginning of lunch. This does NOT include the Jr. Basketball teams who are scorekeeping. Only those who filled out the google form please.
Good morning, Mac and all who inhabit it.
Full steam ahead, the S.S. "I Am Ready” is about to set sail. Kkbiiiip.
This kind of day couldn't get much better, but it keeps on trying. Nga-a-a-a!
Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, that was from the SpongeBob Musical. So, you can probably guess what show Mac is doing.
That’s right! We’re doing Peter and the Starcatcher!
Oh, you thought we’d do SpongeBob?
Nah, trust me, Peter and the Starcatcher is even better. Why?
Well, instead of fish, we get Ferguson as a mermaid; instead of Bikini Bottoms, we get British Italians; and instead of performing at Mac, you can come see us at the Orange Hub on February 5, 6, and 7!
Tickets are being sold now in Mac’s Instagram bio. Don’t be square like SpongeBob. Be there or be square!
Gracious God,
As we come to the end of this school week,
we thank You for the lessons learned,
the challenges faced, and the growth we may not yet fully see.
Help us carry this week’s message with us:
to remain open to new ways,
to be patient with ourselves and others,
and to trust that true change takes time.
Bless our rest, our families, and our community,
and bring us back renewed and ready to continue the work You have begun in us.
We ask this in Your loving name.
Amen.

Throughout the day and the rest of the year let’s show our care about mental health and support friends, classmates, and anyone who may be struggling.

Thank you to all of the artists who submitted work for the NOA art show. Please check your school email accounts for important information and deadlines!
Lord Jesus,
You teach us that change does not happen instantly
and that growth takes patience, effort, and trust.
Help us to resist the desire for quick fixes
and instead commit ourselves to the daily work of becoming better people.
When we see the holes in our lives,
give us the wisdom to grow stronger first
before trying to cover what is broken.
Guide us to trust the process of learning, healing, and becoming whole.
Amen.

Loving God,In yesterday’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that new wine needs new wineskins.Help us to recognize when old attitudes, habits, or fears keep us from growing.Give us hearts that are open, flexible, and ready to learn,so that we may receive new ideas, new challenges, and new ways of loving others.As we begin this day, renew our spirits so that we may walk forward with courage, humility, and hope.We ask this through Christ our Lord.Amen.

Hello, hello Mac! I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed this weird phenomenon happening. I’m calling it Stardust syndrome. Your friends may be exhibiting these symptoms:
Randomly asking you in class to buy tickets to see Peter and the Starcatcher
Stopping you in the hallway to ask you to buy tickets to see Peter and the Starcatcher
And telling you in Italian to buy tickets to Peter and the Starcatcher.
Unfortunately, there’s only one way to cure this disorder. By buying tickets to Peter and the Starcatcher. The show will be at the Orange Hub Theater on February 5th, 6th, and 7th. Tickets are available at machighyeg so make sure to get your tickets now! Have a great day MAC!
