October 5 is World Teacher's Day! Make sure to thank all of our teacher's here at St. John of the Cross - we have an INCREDIBLE group of educators here and they, along with you and your families are what makes this school so special.

THANK YOU to our Teachers.

God has given us the ability to form connections with each other to live together. Empathy helps us to connect and live together in safe, caring, inclusive communities.

We understand empathy to mean the ability to identify with and feel other people's concerns. We believe that in a faith community we are nothing without relationships. Relationships that grow in a spirit of communion. An understanding that we share an identity based on being created in the image and likeness of God and being instilled with one Spirit. We are many parts of one body.

An empathetic person believes that we all share one Spirit, that we are many parts of one body because we are all created in the image and likeness of God.

An empathetic person ...

• Listens attentively
• Watches people's body language
• Notices and responds when someone is upset
• Can name her/his feelings
• Knows that different people may feel differently about the same thing
• Can see a situation from another person's point of view
