The Immaculate Conception
School is celebrating their past and
focusing on the future during
Catholic Schools Week on Feb. 1-8.
The Centennial Celebration will
culminate the week's activities
with a reunion for all present and
former students at 7 p.m. at the
K.C. Hall on Saturday night, and a
birthday mass on Sunday morning
at 11 a.m., with Bishop Fitzpatrick
as celebrant
"We Touch The Future" is the
theme for the week, with kites used
as a symbol of soaring toward the
future as the school begins its
second hundred years of existence.
According to Sister Judy Schef-
fler, principal, "The future of
humanity lies in the hands of those
who are strong enough to provide
coming generations with reasons
for living and hoping. Our Catholic
school demonstrates to our children
that it is possible to live the Good
News now, to put on the mind of
Christ now, to walk in His spirit
now. We are striving to prepare
our children to be morally and
intellectually equipped to build a
more just and compassionate soci-
ety."
The weeklong celebration began
with a chicken barbecue on Sunday
and a "Tree of Life" day on
Monday, with each child bringing
to school their personal family tree
to be placed on the classroom
bulletin boards.
Tuesday was a celebration of
what has been with children
dressed in the style of yesteryear
to honor their ancestors without
whose courage and faith we and
our school would not exist today
The lives of the saints set the
example for Wednesday. Students
learned of the love, compassion,
and sacrifice of the saints and set
goals to create a better world by
being able to make personal
commitments to these values.
"Love your neighbor as yourself"
set Thursday's theme, with each
class making "Caritas Hands" and
choosing one thing to do at home or
at school as an act of kindness in
reaching out to others.
Friday will be "kite day." Bright
kite colors will be reflected in the
children's dress for this day as it
was on Wednesday and Thursday.
Each child will bring in a family
kite with family members' names
and dreams on the kites
On this day, also, a time capsule
will be buried containing artifacts
about our school and world as they
are in 1987
Study Club Reports
On Elder Abuse
Recently, the Florence J. Scott
Study Club had a program, with a
guest speaker to make a pres-
entation concerning abuse of the
elderly.
Mrs. Lucy Cantu, president,
conducted the meeting, with Diana
Pena serving as program chair-
man.
The report indicated that after a
report is made on abuse of an
elderly person, the Department of
Human Services begins the in-
vestigation within 24 hours
A case worker interviews the
elderly program to determine
whether protective services are
necessary, and whether the person
is able and willing to consent to the
services The person participates in
all decisions regarding his welfare,
if competent to do so, and works
with the caseworker to receive
maximum protection in the least
restrictive manner possible.
If the person is capable of
understanding and withdraws or
refuses consent, the services may
not be provided In emergency
situations, the Department may
petition the court for an emergency
order authorizing protective serv-
ices, including removal of the
person to safer surroundings for up
to 72 hours. If necessary, the court
appoints an attorney to represent
the interests of the elderly person
in court.
To report elderly abuse, call
1-800-252-5400.
If the cooling slots on your power
tools become clogged with sawdust,
Wood magazine says to stop by your
local photography store for a can of
compressed air designed to clean
camera lenses. The small tube that
comes with the can is just the ticket for
tight spots.
