Dear Parents, Faculty, Staff, Students, and Parishioners:

THE BEGINNINGS OF PETER’S PENCE
The worldwide Peter’s Pence began as a “pence in the ninth-
century England, when King Alfred the Great collected monies from
English landowners as financial support for the pope.
Pope Pius IX formally instituted the modern Peter’s Pence Collection in
the 1860s. Special appeals have since been held in many countries on
the Sunday closest to June 27th, the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. The
tradition of an annual collection continues today for the charitable
works of the holly Father

Did You Know?
Possible Indicators of Child Abuse and Neglect
A key to reporting child abuse and neglect is
being able to recognize common indicators. In
a parent, the following signs may signal the
presence of child abuse or neglect: Shows little concern for
the child. Blames the child for the child’s problems in school
or at home. Asks teachers or other caretakers to use harsh
physical discipline if the child misbehaves. Sees the child as
entirely bad, worthless, or burdensome. To learn more about
child abuse prevention, visit: http://www.archdiocese.la/
protecting/index.php. For particular help, you may call Assis-
tance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.
It is with great honor and privilege that I accept the position of
Principal of St. Timothy School for the 2010-2011 school year. I
would like to thank Father Paul for the opportunity to serve the
St. Timothy School community. I would also like to thank the
faculty and staff, parents, and students for their continued sup-
port. I am humbled by your blessings and your commitment to
the future of our school.
I come to you with a background in Education and Communica-
tion. I received my B.A. in Communication with an emphasis in
Intercultural and Organizational Communication and I have
spent time working in a corporate setting. I received my Mas-
ters in Elementary Education with a focus on curriculum and
instruction and have taught for seven years. As you may know,
I have a strong record of commitment to our school. I have
been the first grade teacher at St. Timothy School for five years
and have also served as the Vice Principal for the past four
years.
It is my vision as Principal to maintain St Timothy School’s
strong tradition of academic excellence while further nurturing
and developing Catholic values. With your collaboration it is my
hope to develop new and innovative programs that will continue
to place St. Timothy School at the forefront in Catholic educa-
tion.
I enter into this position with faith, strong commitment, deter-
mination, compassion, and energy. With the combined efforts
of our faculty, staff, parents, and parishioners, I am confident
we will continue to grow academically, spiritually, and socially.
As we approach the upcoming school year, I welcome your
thoughts and suggestions and encourage you to contact me at
rowland@sttimothy.org.
Again, I thank you for your continued support and I eagerly
await the start of the school year. Have a Blessed summer.
God bless you,
Ms. Lena Rowland
Principal
St. Timothy School
