OLL Teachers named to Renaissance National Honor
Roll for optimizing students’ growth in reading
Several of Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School’s teachers have been named to
the Renaissance National Honor Roll for outstanding performance in advancing
students’ achievement in reading. Renaissance Learning, an assessment and
learning analytics company, recognizes educators who have led students to
successfully meet or exceed data targets that research shows lead to optimal student
growth in reading and math.
Our teachers earned this distinction through the Renaissance Empowered
Educator Program. The nationwide program guides effective implementation of
products designed to differentiate instruction and personalize student practice.
They have received this honor for outstanding implementation of Accelerated Reader, a K-12 program that
personalizes reading practice and enables teachers to monitor comprehension and growth.
Empowered Educators utilize data to make timely instructional decisions. They also share resources, ideas, and
strategies with other educators through an online community.
Middle School Students Attend “Edge” Retreat
On February 21, 2015, fifty-four of our
school’s middle school children spent the
day in the school’s gym for the annual Edge
Retreat. The theme of the retreat was “Fit
For a King.” The children listened to several
talks, played games, and ate delicious
food. The retreat ended with the 5:00 P.M.

2015 Lenten Mission
Featuring
Fr. Carlos Miyares
Priest of the Archdiocese of Miami
Theme: Christ as “The Way”
(As Christianity was initially called)
There are many competing forces in our daily lives
which draw our attention away from our relationship with Christ.
We can address these forces by focusing our lives on Jesus as “The Way.”
We do this by looking at who Christ is.
How can we make Christ the center if our daily lives?
By focusing on his words and actions found in the Gospels.
Who is Christ?
Come together the 3rd Week of Lent to meditate on who Christ
is for us and how we can make him more real in our lives!

Notes & Thoughts
Vocation Cup
We thank the following families for
hosting the Vocation Cup this past week:
Dolores Garcia
The Domiguez Family
The Vocation Blessing Cup is a wonderful instrument of prayer and devotion for our
parish families. The Cup reminds each host family that it is their responsibility to pray
for and foster vocations to the priesthood and religious life. A family is asked to host the
Vocation Cup for one week. It will travel from home to home as a sign of our total
parish commitment to praying for vocations.
