Please read Gospel Luke 19:28-40
It describes Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Palms are blessed items that remind us that we proclaim Jesus as our King. Some families make small crosses out of their palms to remind them that Jesus died on the cross. Often they are placed behind a picture of Jesus or behind a crucifix.
Dialogue: What will you do with your palm branch? Activity: As a family read the Passion account in St. Luke’s Gospel (22:14-to 23:56). Take turns reading a portion each day. Make a plan to participate in the Holy Week Liturgies.

Last year, Pope St. John XXIII STEM Academy conducted an Enrollment Potential Study in collaboration with Meitler, a national Catholic school planning firm. This year, we are extending that work to create a strategic plan for Pope St. John XXIII STEM Academy for the next five years.
As we did in the previous study, we know and understand the importance of hearing from families who currently have children enrolled at Pope St. John XXIII STEM Academy. We are asking you to complete an online survey in order to share your insights and opinions about Pope St. John XXIII STEM Academy. This survey is distinct from the survey many of you completed previously.
Please complete the survey as soon as possible, but no later than May 14. It should take approximately 8-10 minutes to answer the survey questions. All responses are confidential and very important.
