Believe Grow Achieve

The week of April 23 - April 27, 2017 has been declared Safe Environment Week in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. HAVE COURAGE, GO FORWARD

Menu April Breakfast

The month of April is designated as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Within this important month, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has designated the week of April 23rd as Safe Environment Week. This is a week when we celebrate our children and the incredibly important job of protecting our children from harm.

Monday: Fruit cup/and or juice, WG cereal, Cheese Stick, and milk Tuesday: Fruit cup/ and or juice, WG crackers, Yogurt and milk

As the Archdiocese of Milwaukee states, “To know that we are children of God is to live in complete love, with deep abiding security and the ability to dream, to sing, to create, to laugh, and to play without worry. As we grow older, we face a new reality--we cannot approach all God’s creation with the same trust and confidence. We learn, through sometimes hurtful and damaging experiences, that some people reject the ability that God gave them to love and respect others--they ignore God’s call. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee’s program to safeguard children helps remind us of these very facts. With the help of this program, the faithful are guided and educated about the responsibility of how to keep God’s children protected and safe.”

Wednesday: Fruit/and or juice,WG muffin or bagel, Cheese stick and milk, hard boiled egg Thursday: Fruit/and or juice, WG granola bar or WG crackers, Yogurt and milk Friday: Fruit/and or juice, WG cereal, Cheese stick and milk

Lunch 4/23-4/27 Mon.: Chicken nuggets, noodles, steamed carrots coins and fruit Tues.: Pizza, chilled fruit, mixed veggies and salad

It is our moral responsibility as adults to protect possible victims of child abuse or neglect by reporting the suspected abuse of a minor to the proper authorities or Child Protective Services. Please read the following links for more information:

Wed.: Sloppy joes, smile fries, chilled fruit and pork and beans



Safe Environment Week - Proclamation (English, Spanish) 10 Ways to Promote Healthy Parent-Child Relationships (English,Spanish) Positive Communication (English, Spanish) The Five Things Strong Families Have in Common (English, Spanish) Social Media and digital Communication Parent Tips (English, Spanish) Safeguarding All Of God’s Family Charter (English,Spanish) Invitation to the Mass of Atonement

Safe Environment Week is a great time to think about what we as individuals and parents can do to help protect our children. First, if you haven’t participated in the “Safeguarding All of God’s Family” class consider signing up now. This will allow you to be even more involved by allowing you to volunteer at school or go on field trips. Second, make sure you know where your children are spending their time. Know the adults and kids your child interacts with. Third, watch your child’s behavior. When children exhibit dramatic behavioral changes, make sure to find out what is causing these changes. Never miss an opportunity to talk to, listen to, or observe your child. Finally, take every opportunity to have conversations with your child about safety, both in person and in the digital world. Together, we can help keep the world a safe place for all children. John Paul II Academy
