"But Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him,"
Jeremiah 17:7 (Bible verse of the year chosen by Peer Ministry)

February 17, 2022

Dear BA Families:

United in prayer. This week one of our students was in a tragic accident. He is recovering thanks to prayers and miracles. We ask for your continued prayers for Andrew Caron and the Caron family as he heals and recovers. What a blessing that we can come together to support and care for each other through prayer.

LONG WEEKEND AHEAD: Please don't forget that you have a long weekend. Friday, Feb. 18 and Monday, Feb. 21 are "No School Days." Not only is this a great opportunity for scholars to relax or travel, but it is also a great time to make up any late work.

APPRECIATION OF STAFF: Please thank your Faribault bus drivers and the BA van driver on Wednesday, Feb. 23 for Bus Driver Appreciation Day in our District. Cards and tokens of gratitude appreciated!

Dear BA Families:

Discerning your vocation is a journey. Over the weekend I attended the Honor Band concert, stopped in to visit our Robotics Team and cheered on our Spelling Bee participants from afar.

Please join us on Sunday and invite families to our Open House, Feb. 13 from 11am-1pm!

ALL BA UPDATES

School Counseling Update: BA's school counselors, Shane Roessler and Stephen Uphus, wanted to share the following message and resources with our BA community: "The theme this year for National School Counseling Week is #Better Together.  School counselors work with students on their vocational/career plans, academic concerns and personal concerns.  For all of us, especially students, all three things tend to rely on the each other. School counseling is most successful when we work as a team.  That team includes other mental health professionals, school staff, school administration, parents and community members.  All of these members rely on one another to create the best environment for students to be successful.  We know that we are truly better together.  Thank you for working with us!"

Mental Health Resources: We know that at this time we are seeing an increase in the mental health needs of our scholars. Here is a link to Rice County resources.

Dear BA Families:

Happy Catholic Schools Week! Starting on Sunday, please join us at the 10 a.m. DMCC Mass as we celebrate with thousands of Catholic schools nationwide for Catholic Schools Week. As part of the week's celebration, BA students will participate in daily prayer, trivia and service projects: 1) A challenge to bring in as much non-perishable food items for St. Vincent de Paul as possible (winning class earns a pizza party); 2) Scholars will create Valentines and Thank You cards for area nursing homes and health care workers; 3) BA SnoBall Court will bring treats to their DMCS buddies. Share the great news about Faribault Catholic Schools and invite families to our Open House, Feb. 13 from 11am-1pm!

WIN Day - Wednesday, Feb. 2-No Regular Classes: This Wednesday is our second WIN day scheduled to help students who were out on quarantine make up missed assignments and tests. It is also an opportunity for students and teachers to schedule individual support as needed. The Middle School teachers coordinate their schedule and High School teachers set up a schedule with students. If you have a scholar who wants additional support, please have them set that time up with the teachers. Most teachers schedule students between 8-Noon, although other times can be arranged. Typically, in the afternoon, teachers attend meetings. We do not anticipate any additional WIN days, however, we remain flexible based on needs.

Welcome Stephen Uphus to the BA Team!
Hello, everyone! My name is Stephen Uphus, and I am the new counseling intern here at Bethlehem Academy for the middle school. I am currently pursuing my school counseling master's degree through Winona State University and will be working with Mrs. Roessler with middle school students for the duration of the academic semester until I finish my degree in May, when I (hopefully) can find a job as a school counselor! I am originally from Stillwater, MN and graduated from Saint John's University in 2017 with an undergrad in psychology. I spent the last two and a half years in the Lewiston-Altura school district, working as an administrative assistant, substitute teacher, and paraprofessional in both the high school and elementary school. Additionally, I have had the privilege of serving in the Minnesota Army National Guard since 2016 first as a tank crew member and now as a communications officer. My wife, Ashley (Radatz '13), is a graduate of BA and we are both excited that I have the opportunity to work in her old school! She and I moved to town about a month ago; we both love to travel, be outdoors, and spend time with family! I will be working out of BA on Tuesdays and am here to assist students with academic planning (both during and beyond high school), career readiness, and provide any other social/emotional support needed for their time in school. Please come say hello, I am looking forward to meeting and working with all of you!
