cathy.noble@stjosephmaumee.org. I check both of them frequently, but my home email is the best bet if school is not in session (holidays and weekends).

BONUS OPPORTUNITY
The Challenge
We are in the heart of the Lenten journey! This is such an exciting time as we await the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ! As with Lent, the season of spring (which arrives on March 20) also provides a chance for renewal of the mind and spirit.
Discuss your spiritual hopes for this Lenten time and what Jesus' death and resurrection mean to you--personally. You must also discuss what the season of spring means to you as nature awakens, the days grow longer, and that "spring smell" is in the air. You may write separately about these two topics or you may entertwine them as you compose. The choice is yours.
The Criteria
Please write at least three paragraphs total.
You must type this paper in Middle School format.
All students need to print a hard copy for the "In Box" and save to their flash drives.
This bonus is due by Friday, March 27 at 3 pm.
The Reward
Up to 30 bonus points are up for grabs! Do your best!
