Teamwork . .
. it sounds easy enough, right? Work as a team. Wanting to work in teams is not
something that comes natural to everyone. Some people work best when they work
alone. While this may be true for some, there is a reason for the age old saying
"two heads are better than one". Even Jesus sent his disciples out in teams of
two.

So why do I
mention this? The first reason is because with the new school year, comes new
friends and new required groups for your children. Working in a group is a huge
part of school, no matter how old your child is. Daily students work in groups
to learn how to problem solve and to learn how to work with others. As you know
working together usually makes the workload a little lighter as well. Sometimes
your children will love the groups they are assigned to, and as you already
know, sometimes they will not. When they complain about a group try to remind
them that working as a team is so important that even Jesus asked his disciples
to do it. The second reason I mention this is because this weekend we will be
having our dodge ball Pre-Game Game to help us learn how to work as a team so
that we can be ready for the diocesan tournament in a few weeks. If you are 11
years old or older, please come play in the Pre-Game Game on Saturday, if you
are younger come to cheer on the players!
Peace,
