Welcome to St. Charles Borromeo Parish!
SCB Unity Day
Mass and Picnic in the Park
Our 6th Annual Borromeo Parish Unity Day
11:00am Mass on Sunday, September 15, 2013
at Bales-DuSable Park
I and our whole staff personally hope and pray each one
of you and every family, who are proud to call Borromeo our
home, will come together to celebrate our Unity in Jesus
Christ and His Holy Communion. We will have a special involvement and blessing for all our children who are preparing
this year for First Holy Communion—the Sacrament of Unity.
Because it is so important, we have decided to cancel the
10am and 11:30am Masses in church and have the Mass in
the Park at 11:00am on September 15. One of many reasons
is so the choir and others can join us.
Come for fun, fellowship, and our faith family!
Celebrating our Countries of Origin
We’re adding something new this year that will help us
to celebrate the many different countries in which Borromeo
parishioners were born, as well as the countries our ancestors came from generations ago. We’ll begin the Unity Day
Mass in the park with a procession in which one person from
each country of origin or country of heritage carries a small,
lightweight flag and places it near the altar.
We need a volunteer from every country for the procession. Please let the Unity Day committee know very soon if
you’d like to carry the flag for your country. You’ll find a
phone number and email address you can use to contact
them under the Unity Day announcement later in this bulletin. Or next weekend, just drop an envelope marked “Unity
Day” in the collection basket. Include your name, the country
of your origin or cultural heritage, and your contact information.
We are All One Family In our Lord Jesus Christ!
Help A Student
I would like to personally ask each of you if you could
pitch in to help us keep all our wonderful students in our
school. Thanks to those who have been so generous over the
years—because of you we do not need to turn anyone away
from our excellent SCB Catholic School. Some parents have
been unemployed or have a health crisis or just have lowpaying jobs and growing expenses these days. They all pay as
much of the tuition as they can.
The total donated this past fiscal year was a little over
$33,000. We have been able to give grants more than that
total. So we need everyone’s help. This is what it means to
be one family here at SCB. Please read the box in this bulletin
on how to contribute.
Good News of Jesus Working
in our Borromeo Family
I received a beautiful God-filled long email this week
from someone who is getting involved again in our parish/
school family. I want to share one of her thoughts:
“While standing at the table with all the other volunteers,
I realized how many wonderful families we have at SCB, and
as different people hugged me to say hello, it hit me that I
have a history here, a positive history, one that is filled with
volunteerism, laughter, memories, and great people that
love . . . “
Prayer of the Week
Loving God, as You lure the whole world into salvation,
guide us with Your Spirit that we might not only be pilgrims on
the earth but pilgrims with the earth, journeying home to You.
Open our hearts to understanding Your intimacy with all creation.
May we always speak for the voiceless,
the diminished and demeaned.
May we know the good company of the meek as we travel
for their inheritance will be the earth.
and finally for this day and all that it contains,
and for all the days to come, we give joyful thanks and praise
to You from whom all good things come.
Loving God, all creations sings of Your glory. AMEN.
Spread the Gospel, the Good News
about Jesus and His Borromeo Family!
Your brother in Jesus,
Father John
Please pray for our loved ones who are hospitalized or ill, including:
Sarah Pryor, Warren Westerfeld, Jeff Wittenauer, Eddy Lopez, Leo Gonzales, Erin Kalkbrenner, Berna Petzold,
Mary Vogt, Francis Dwyer, David Rodgers, George Scott, Alex Baumgartner, Louise Bruder, Gretchen Nichols
also, please pray for Sister Anna Mae Marheineke RSCJ who is now in hospice care and (in the words from one of the
sisters) “inching her way to heaven.” Sister Marheineke was born and raised in St. Charles and was a life long member of
Borromeo. She served at the Academy for many years before retiring in an RSCJ retirement community in California.
Homebound, Critically Ill or in the Hospital: If you are homebound and wish to receive the Eucharist, or receive a visit
while in the hospital, please call Mary Kutchback at 946-9758 or the parish office at 946-1893.

Gospel Reflection
As members of God’s family we are called to proclaim
God’s love through our actions and words. We have two
choices for ways to live. We can either do things that are
right, or we can do things that are wrong. To live eternally with God, we must choose to live the right way.
God is there to help us because we believe that God is
stronger than evil. The way of good is the way to Christ.
To do wrong, leads to our destruction. By loving Jesus,
we can continue the good work God began in each of
us.
 How are we encouraged by others throughout history who have been witnesses to their faith?
 What is the good work God began in you?

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old

THANK YOU for the great love you show to our Borromeo
Family carrying on the work of Jesus and to those in need by
the generosity you display when you share your Treasure,
and all God’s gifts to you, given for others.
“Do you think I have come to give you peace on Earth? No,
I tell you, but rather division.”
(Luke 12:51)
Living a stewardship lifestyle means stepping out of our
comfort zone when needed. Many of us like to play it
safe, not cause waves, stay in the middle of the road. In
today’s world we are called to be informed and take a
stance for life, marriage and religious liberty.
We pray that we have the courage to step out of our comfort
zone and stand up for life, marriage and religious liberty.

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA):
A Strong Start in the Catholic Faith
Thinking of joining the Roman Catholic Church?
Does someone you know show an interest in becoming a member of the Catholic Church?
Have you or someone you know been away from the Church and recently returned?
Where do you begin? Well, you just begin from where you are now!
Many adults entering the Catholic Church, or those just thinking about it, follow a process known as the RCIA — the Rite
of Christian Initiation of Adults.
Join us Tuesday, August 27 at 7 pm in the Borromeo Cafeteria for our
Break the Ice Cream Social – a kick off to our Fall RCIA sessions.
The RCIA process has several stages.
Inquiry is the initial period before you decide to enter the Catholic Church. You're asking questions and checking it
out, but aren't yet ready to commit.
Catechumenate is the stage where those who want to continue their journey into the Church begin developing
their faith and are being "catechized" — learning catechism, or the basic points about Catholic faith and life.
Purification and preparation: The Church will help you focus and intensify your faith as you prepare to commit
your life to Jesus Christ and be received into the Church at the Easter Vigil. If you're following the RCIA process, you'll
go through a beautiful series of Gospel-based meditations during Lent, which is the time frame of this period.
Initiation itself, the culmination of the whole process! You're received into the Church during the Easter Vigil Mass,
where you'll receive the sacraments of initiation: baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist. (If you've already been baptized, you won't be baptized again.)
Mystagogy is the period after reception into the Church at Easter that lets you reflect and learn more about the
mysteries of the Mass and the Sacraments that you now participate in fully.
Our sessions are held in the school building each Tuesday evening from 7 to 8:30 pm beginning with the Ice Cream Social.
Should you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Becca McCullough at 946-2916 or [email protected].
Special Event at Duchesne High School for our 2013/14
CONFIRMATION STUDENTS
The St. Charles area Catholic Schools and Youth Ministries plan a Rally to kick off the year of Confirmation! Please mark your calendars for
Saturday, September 7, 2013 from 8:30am to 5pm.
All Confirmation students from Borromeo, St. Peter, St. Robert, St. Elizabeth, Sts. Joachim & Anne and St. Cletus
will gather for a Spirit-filled day at Duchesne High School in St. Charles. Mass will be at 4pm. Lunch and snacks
throughout the day will be served. There is no cost to students or families for this Rally, the parishes have generously provided for food, bands, and speakers.
Pastors have agreed this Rally is an event students will not want to miss and sports schedules have been planned
around the Rally!
Mark your calendar now and more information will follow. Should you have any questions regarding the
Rally, please let me know.
Becca McCullough
Director, Religious Education
St. Charles Borromeo School
Dear Parishioners,
We've already experienced many blessings at the beginning of this school year! Meeting new friends and getting reacquainted with old friends is one of God's blessings for all people! I'd like you to join me in welcoming our new staff: Secretary, Mrs. Sue Schutz; Gr. 8 and Math, Ms. Amy Reed; Gr. 7 and English Language Arts, Mrs. Gwynne Kahrhoff; Gr. 6
and English Language Arts, Ms. Katie Byrne; Gr. 2, Mrs. Stephanie Saulet.
Our teachers have already spent two days learning how to use our updated version of Accelerated Reader and Accelerated Math. Additionally, teachers attended the annual Religious Education Institute last week. Teachers have taken courses
and workshops during the summer as well as reading and planning for a new year.
I ask that your number one priority for our school is to pray for each of us daily. I humbly ask for your continued financial
support as well. It is critical that we all support the future of our Church by helping with the education of our children in
the faith. Support of all our Catholic education programs from PSR to day school to RCIA, etc. helps ensure that our faith
is passed to many people.
Looking forward to the blessings of another faith-filled and productive school year!
God bless, Mrs. Hoffman

St. Charles Borromeo Religious Education
Dear Parishioners:
Are you or someone you know interested in learning more about the Catholic faith? Are you or someone you
know interested in becoming Catholic?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process to assist prospective Catholics in their journey to become
active members in the Roman Catholic Church.
Join us for RCIA in September and October—no commitment required! Learn more about this ministry at our RCIA Ice
Cream Social, Tuesday, August 25 at 7pm in the Borromeo Cafeteria. For more information, contact Becca McCullough,
946-2916 or [email protected].
Our Parish School of Religion (PSR) provides instruction in our Catholic faith to children and youth who attend public
schools, so9 that they can grow in their relationship with Jesus. We also prepare students for celebrating the Sacraments
of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.
Our program offers a Sunday morning class during the 8:30 Mass for children ages 3, 4 and 5 who are not yet in kindergarten and do not wear diapers. Registration is required for attendance and is available as described below!
Classes for K through Confirmation begin today, August 18 at 9:45 in the school building. Enter through the triple black
doors from the southernmost parking lot off 4th Street. Parents and children will attend classes together, and will gather
at the end of the class time for a prayer service and introduction of Catechists. The parent meeting will be held next Sunday, August 25 beginning at 10am in the school cafeteria. All PSR parents are expected to attend.
If you have not already done so, please complete and return the registration material for your child! Information regarding registration is available on our parish website at www.borromeoparish.com and selecting Religious Education along
the left hand side of the home page. Registration material can be printed, completed and returned to the Parish Office
with payment.
Parents with students preparing for Confirmation (age 13 or older and grade 8 or older) should contact the Parish Religious Education Office at 946-2916 to register for our Confirmation program.
Prayer Angels are always needed in our Parish School of Religion! Volunteers work with individual students or
in small groups during class time (9:45—11:10) helping children learn prayers we say every day.
We are blessed to have so many giving and loving people as leaders in our PSR program. Our catechists include
teachers, nurses, engineers, accountants, cosmetologists, program managers, realtors, stay-at-home moms, full
time students, business owners, and grandmas and grandpas! Please keep these parishioners in your prayers:

St. Charles Borromeo
Help-A-Student Program
Parents have the hardest job in the world, and
young parents in our parish community need our loving
support more than ever before. Besides struggling to
provide the material needs of their children, they are
dedicated to handing on their rich heritage of the Catholic faith.
To provide financial assistance for those parents
who cannot afford the full cost of tuition in our school,
we appeal to you, their parish family members, to consider a contribution through our parish Help-A-Student
program. When you support this program, you are giving youngsters a chance to strengthen their faith in God
and prepare themselves for their future.
We maintain complete confidentiality when receiving and distributing financial aid from our Help-AStudent Program.
Parents willing to support the standards and requirements of the school, and participate in
parish and school projects and activities, will be helped
to give their children the excellent academic and religious education available in St. Charles Borromeo
School.
Please pray for our expectant moms:
Michaela (August)
Linsey (September)
Christine (November)
Viki, Michelle (December)

Let us pray: for world leaders, that their actions may

THANK YOU
In today’s Gospel, Jesus said to His disciples: “I have
come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were
already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be
baptized, and how great is my anguish until it be accomplished!”
Your gift to the Society to assist those suffering in poverty will help set the earth on fire with the love of God.
Look around your house to see what furniture, household items, and clothing you no longer use . . . and give
it to the Society of St. Vincent dePaul.
For information about the work of the Society of St. Vincent dePaul and how you can help, contact Matt Medina

El Viaje a México
Acá en los Estados Unidos, mucha
gente ha escuchado hablar de una
organización que se llama, Habitat
For Humanity, que construye casas
para los sin hogar, pero cuantas
habrán escuchado de la organización que se llama Esperanza Internacional, un programa en México, que
hace algo similar.
En julio de este año un grupo de 38
personas de nuestra parroquia,
jóvenes y adultos, por segunda vez
(el año pasado eran 28 personas)
fueron a una comunidad cerca de
Tijuana, que se llama La Gloria, sede del programa Esperanza Internacional. El grupo incluyó siete latinos entre los 20 jóvenes y 18 adultos. El grupo retornó el 27 de julio
y los líderes dicen que ya hay mas
de viento personas que quieren ir el
próximo año. Más de una persona
comentó que esto había sido la mejor experiencia de su vida.
Que ocurre?
Mucho. Los jóvenes y adultos trabajan con los vecinos locales para
hacer ladrillos de cemento y construir los cimientos para la casa, y
luego los constructores locales terminan la parte interior de la casa.
Al mediodía las vecinas preparan un
delicioso almuerzo que se comparte
entre todos, y los anglos que deseen
puedan practicar su limitado español.
contento y amor en nosotros, los
visitantes.
Finalmente, dado que éramos un
grupo de San Luís, fuimos a un partido de beisbol entre San Luís Potosí
y los Toros de Tijuana, jugando por
primer puesto en su liga.
El enfoque principal es la construcción de una casa pero las oportunidades de conocer de cerca algo de
la cultura Mexicana son igualmente
importantes. Un día el grupo fue a
la frontera para conocer el muro de
fiero que separa México de los Estados Unidos, una experiencia que
causa tristeza. Otro día fuimos a
una clínica donde algunas religiosas
y médicos locales atiende a la gente
en la zona, que incluye casas construidas sobre un basural. Una tarde
llevamos pizzas a un orfanato de
niñas para cenar con ellas. Después
de comer, platicar y jugar futbol,
regresamos al hogar y las niñas nos
cantaron, primero un canto en
Inglés de John Lennon, “Imagine All
The People”, y luego en Español,
“El Canto de Alegría” por Beethoven. Esto produjo grandes sonrisas y también algo de lágrimas de
Cada mañana el día comenzaba con
una oración y reflexión después del
desayuno, y varias veces en las tardes había oración y compartir sobre
las experiencias del día. Un día algunos del grupo fuimos a la Misa en
la parroquia San Antonio, a tres
cuadras de nuestra residencia. Todos participaron en la Misa que celebramos con el grupo una tarde.
Esto inspiró el comentario de uno
de los jóvenes que fue también el
año pasado que dijo, “Padre, todo
este año ha sido más poderoso que
el año pasado.”
Que bendición entre tanta otras
esto ha llegado a ser para nuestra
parroquia. Acompáñanos el próximo año.

HEMOS CREIDO EN EL AMOR
La fe nos abre el camino y acompaña nuestros pasos a lo
largo de la historia. Por eso, si queremos entender lo que
es la fe, tenemos que narrar su recorrido, el camino de
los hombres creyentes, cuyo testimonio encontramos en
primer lugar en el Antiguo Testamento. En él, Abrahán,
nuestro padre en la fe, ocupa un lugar destacado. En su
vida sucede algo desconcertante: Dios que habla y lo
llama por su nombre. La fe está vinculada a la escucha.
Abrahán no ve a Dios, pero oye su voz. De este modo la
fe adquiere un carácter personal. Aquí Dios no se manifiesta como el Dios de un lugar, ni tampoco aparece vinculado a un tiempo sagrado determinado, sino como el
Dios de una persona, el Dios de Abrahán, Isaac, Jacob,
capaz de entrar en contacto con el hombre y establecer
una alianza con él. La fe es la respuesta a una Palabra que
interpela personalmente, a un Tú que nos llama por
nuestro nombre.

March on Main Street for Immigration Reform
August 22 at 5:00pm
March starts at the Courthouse on 2nd Street
and continues down Main Street
“We can no longer accept a situation in which some public officials
and members of our communities scapegoat immigrants at the same
time our nation benefits from their labor. We can no longer accept
a status quo in which migrants are compelled to risk their lives in
order to support their families. We can no longer accept a reality in
which migrants fill jobs critical to Americans and U.S. employers
without receiving appropriate wages and benefits. We can no
longer tolerate the death of human beings in the desert.”
~~U.S. Bishop James Tamayo
“We pray for a heart which will embrace immigrants. God will judge us upon how we have treated the most needy.”
~~Pope Francis
Catholic bishops have asked Congress to support immigration reform; Pope Francis urged societies receiving immigrants
to exhibit “maternal care,” noting that in many cases, migrants also fall victim to human trafficking. The U.S. Senate has
passed an immigration bill, not perfect but a start, but the House has not.
Join fellow St. Charles Countians for our Action for Immigration Reform on Thursday, August 22 at 5pm, lasting until
about 6:30. We will assemble at the St. Charles County Courthouse, 300 N. Second in St. Charles, and proceed down to
Main Street to Frontier Park for a rally with speakers.
It is past time for our Missouri Representatives to support an inclusive Immigration process. For further information or to
register, contact: www.mira.mo.org or 314-644-0466 x 15.
10 Ways to Help Your Child Get Organized
Having good organizational skills is a key ingredient for success in school and life. Although some people are by nature
more organized than others, anyone can put routines and systems in place to help a child “get it together.”
Use checklists.
Help your child get in the habit of keeping a “to do” list. Use checklists to post assignments, household
chores, and reminders about materials to bring to class. Your child should keep a small pad or notebook dedicated to
listing homework. Crossing completed items off the list will give him a sense of accomplishment.
Set a designated study time.
Your child should know that a certain time every day is reserved for studying and doing
homework. The best time is usually not right after school—most children benefit from time to unwind first. Include your
child in making this decision. Even if she doesn’t have homework, the reserved time should be used to review the day’s
lessons, read for pleasure, or work on an upcoming project.
Organize homework assignments.
Before beginning a homework session, encourage your child to number assignments in
the order in which they should be done. She should start with one that’s not too long or difficult, but avoid saving the
longest or hardest assignments for last.
Designate a study space.
Your child should study in the same place every night. It doesn’t have to be a bedroom, but
should be a quiet place with few distractions. All school supplies and materials should be nearby. If your young child
wants to study with you nearby, you’ll be better able to monitor his progress and encourage good study habits.
Keep organized notebooks.
Help your child keep track of papers by organizing them in a binder or notebook. This will
help him review the material for each day’s classes and to organize the material later to prepare for tests and quizzes.

Survey Shows Strong Catholic Support For Immigration Reform
Nearly eighty percent of Catholic voters support earned citizenship. Most Catholics support the bishops' call
to respect human rights and dignity. Catholics need to contact their legislators
WASHINGTON—A large majority of Catholics support
immigration reform legislation that provides a path to
citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants
in the country, according to a recent survey sponsored
by the Office of Migration Policy and Public Affairs of
the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
Overall, 77 percent of Catholic voters support a proposal
that allows earned citizenship through meeting requirements like registration, paying a fine, paying taxes and
taking English classes, the survey shows.
 Sixty percent agreed that an enforcement-only policy featuring deportations has a devastating social
impact upon family unity.
 Sixty-nine percent agreed that the U.S. can ensure
the safety of our border and treat all people humanely, even those who come illegally.
 Sixty-seven percent agreed that the Church has a
moral obligation to help those in need, even if they
are here illegally.
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, chairman of
the USCCB Committee on Migration, embraced the results of the survey. “It is clear that Catholics understand
the importance of this issue,” Archbishop Gomez said.
“As an immigrant church, Catholics from all walks of life
understand the migration experience and accept the Gospel’s call to welcome the stranger.”
 Fifty-seven percent stated that they would cross the
Most Catholics support the bishops’ call for the creation
of an immigration system that respects basic human rights
and dignity while ensuring the integrity of our borders,
according to survey results. As immigration reform takes
center stage in the public square, this data makes clear
that the Catholic population is behind current efforts to
reform the broken immigration system.
In their 2003 pastoral letter, “Strangers No Longer: Together on the Journey of Hope,” the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops outlined several policy goals for immigration reform, which include:
Archbishop Gomez called upon Catholics to engage their
elected officials on behalf of immigration reform. “I encourage Catholics across the nation to contact their legislators in support of humane immigration reform, which
would help our brothers and sisters come out of the
shadows and become full members of our communities,”
he said.
 The protection and enhancement of the family-
Key findings include:
 Eight-four percent agreed that requiring undocumented immigrants to register with the government
as a condition to remain permanently would improve national security.
 Seventy-five percent said that enforcement of laws
should be based upon humane values that deports
violent criminals but finds ways to work with people who have come to find a better life.
 Sixty-one percent said that immigrants were good
for the economy.

based immigration system, including the reduction
in backlogs and shortening of waiting times for husbands and wives and their children.
 A program which allows low-skilled migrant workers to enter and work in the United States legally
and safely and includes appropriate wage and
worker protections.
 The restoration of due process protections for immigrants.
 Policies which address the root causes, or push factors, of irregular migration, such as the absence of
living wage jobs in sending communities and persecution.

Borromeo Parish Library
Located in the Bicentennial Room
Open Sundays 9:30am to noon
Mission Trip to Mexico, 2013
People have heard of Habitat for
Humanity that builds houses for the
homeless, but how many have
heard of Esperanza International, a
program in Mexico that does something similar? St. Theodore Parish in
Flint Hill has been sending a group
of parishioners there for half a
dozen years, and now St. Charles
Borromeo Parish in St. Charles has
also caught the bug. In July of this
year Borromeo sent a group of 38,
adults and youth (last year, their
first trip, 28 attended) to a program
called Esperanza Internacional
(International Hope), located an
hour south of San Diego, CA in a
community near Tijuana called La
Gloria. Having returned home on
July 27, group leaders say that
some 20 people already are talking
about going next year. More than
one young person was heard to say
that it was the best experience of
their life.
What happens?
Lots! Youth and adults work together with local people to make
concrete blocks and build the foun-
dation for the home of a family that
then, with the help of local laborers, finish the modest home. It’s
strenuous work but everyone loves
it and sees the appreciation on the
faces of the people living there. At
lunch break the future home owners
and neighbors provide a real, authentic, Mexican meal for everyone,
and a chance to practice one’s limited Spanish if so desired.
The main focus is helping build a
house, but the added cultural experiences are equally important.
One day the group visited the border fence (20 foot steel wall) that
separates the U.S. from Mexico.
That is sobering. Another day after
work the group visited a rehabilitation clinic run by a priest from the
States employing local health professionals and volunteers. One evening the group bought pizzas and
went to an orphanage to have supper with the girls living there. Before leaving the girls sang several
songs to the delight of their visitors,
including in English, John Lennon’s
“Imagine All The People”, and in
Spanish, Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”.
It brought wide smiles to peoples’
faces, and also some tears of joy
and love. And, being from St. Louis
area, the group had to see a Mexican baseball game that featured San
Luis (Potosi, not Missouri) against
the local Tijuana Lobos playing for
first place in the playoffs.
Each morning the day begins with
Morning Prayer and a short reflection after breakfast, and several evenings the group gathers for night
prayer and sharing on the day’s experiences. Some attended Mass in
Spanish one morning at the local
parish. All participated in an evening Mass at the posada (residence)
in the middle of the week. That
prompted one of the young men
who had also attended last year’s
trip to comment that, “Father, this
year everything is more powerful
than last year.”
What a blessing this has become for
St. Charles Borromeo Parish,
founded in 1791 and still going
strong.

10 Ways to Help Your Child Get Organized (continued)
Use dividers to separate class notes, or color-code notebooks.
Separate “to do” and “done” folders help organize worksheets, notices, and items to be signed by parents, as well as provide a central place for completed assignments.
Conduct a weekly cleanup.
Encourage your child to sort through book bags and notebooks on a weekly basis. Old tests
and papers should be organized and kept in a separate file at home.
Create a household schedule.
Try to establish and stick to a regular dinnertime and bedtime. Children with a regular bedtime go to school well-rested. Try to limit TV and computer play to specific periods during the day.
Keep a master calendar.
Keep a large, wall-sized calendar for the household, listing the family’s commitments, schedules
for extracurricular activities, days off from school, and major events at home and school. Note dates when your child has
big exams or due dates for projects. This helps everyone keep track of each other’s activities and avoid scheduling conflicts.
Prepare for the day ahead.
Before your child goes to bed, he should pack schoolwork and books in a book bag. The next
day’s clothes should be laid out with shoes, socks, and accessories. This cuts down on morning confusion and creates a
smooth morning.
Provide needed support while your child is learning to become more organized. Most important, set a good example!
