From
the Office of the President
February 2012
Dear Friends,
Happy New Year!!
While my wishes for a blessed 2012 might be
a bit tardy they are nonetheless sincere and
heartfelt. I pray that all in the Prep
community enjoyed a wonderful holiday and
that the New Year is off to a blessed start.
I want to take a
moment to thank all of you for your kindness
to me as I celebrated my 50th birthday at
the end of November. I was being a big baby
about turning 50 (not believing anyone who
would tell me that 50 is the “new 40”). The
kindness shown to me however, made the big
event not so painful and in fact I found
myself actually enjoying the whole
experience—even the onset of receiving AARP
information in the mail.
Turning 50 has also
made me reflect on the passage of time and
once again, I’m reminded of how quickly time
passes us by. As we begin the second
semester of this year, I want to challenge
myself and the entire community to avoid
getting overly caught up in the busy nature
that is our day-to-day experience at the
expense of recognizing the gift that is each
and every moment of our day. Perhaps this
challenge is most appropriate for our
seniors and their families for whom this is
their final semester at Prep. Let us pledge
to savor each day for the gift that it is
and to live each day to the fullest. One of
my favorite movie quotes comes from Dead
Poets Society—Carpe Diem! Let us all
“seize the day” and in doing so experience
the joy that is God’s desire for us all!!
God Bless,
Fr. Michael J.
Marco, S.J.

Parents' Club
Chairs Report -
Back to Top
Happy New Year to all from the
Parents Board! It is hard
to believe that January is over!
The boys have survived their
exams and have kicked off the
second semester with a whirl of
activity at Prep!
The winter sports teams are in
full swing -- stop by to see a
basketball game, a wrestling
match, or a swim meet if you
can, and the boys are preparing
behind the scenes for the spring
sports which are just around the
corner. Congrats to the
Prep Players on a fabulous play,
Fahrenheit 451 last weekend!
I hope you all got the chance to
see it.
This Saturday, February
4th is our Past Parents
Party in the George Center at
7:00 p.m. It is a great
way to reconnect with old Prep
friends, so please try to make
it.
Save the date for the Father -
Son dinner on March 4th.
Mass is at 5:00 p.m. with dinner
to follow.
Our Post Prom Committee has been
hard at work raising funds for a
wonderful, safe night for our
boys. We appreciate all of
your support.
Prep is starting a Mothers Club!
We have had one event and will
be hosting another coffee in
February, so be on the lookout
for an invite.
Prep is a very busy place with
so many events that succeed
because of all of you!
Thank you so much for all that
you continue to do for Prep!

On
Tuesday,
December
6th,
Headmaster
Jeff Jones
was the
guest
speaker at
our monthly
meeting.
The parents
appreciated
his insight
on the
leadership
qualities of
a Prep
student. He
was kind
enough to
spend some
time at the
end of the
meeting
answering
our
questions.
The
next
Freshmen
Parents’
Networking
meeting will
be on
Monday,
February 6th.
(NOTE: THIS
IS A CHANGE
FROM OUR
REGULARLY
SCHEDULED
DATE!) Our
guest
speaker will
be Prep
Athletic
Director,
Dan Paro,
who will
give us an
overview of
Prep’s
athletic
programs.
Please let
us know in
advance if
you have any
specific
topics you’d
like Coach
Paro to
address.
We’d like
this meeting
to be as
informational
and
insightful
as
possible.
Many parents
have
expressed an
interest
this topic
and in
having the
opportunity
to hear from
Coach Paro,
so we hope
that we’ll
have a good
turnout.
Come at 7:00
p.m. for
socializing
and light
refreshments
before the
meeting,
which will
start at
7:30 p.m. in
the Figge
Foyer.
Friday,
February
24th
is a
Freshman Day
of Service.
More details
to follow.
We are
working to
set up our
next
Freshman
Parent
Social,
sometime
later this
winter.
Again, more
details will
follow.
Finally, if
you are not
receiving
emails from
us regarding
Freshman

Parents
Council of
Washington
(PCW)
Great News!
Parents
Council of
Washington
is on
Facebook.
This year’s
Winter PCW
Representative
Forum opened
with a
demonstration
on how to
take full
advantage of
what PCW has
to offer.
All you need
to do is
click the
link (www.facebook.com/ParentsCouncilofWashington),
“like” the
page and you
have instant
access to
all things
PCW;
webinars,articles
relevant to
raising
children
today and
much more.
This
demonstration
was followed
by
information
on how to
host a
webinar.
Webinars as
you may know
are like
seminars but
held through
the
internet.
Last year,
PCW
introduced a
webinar
series for
its
members.
There are 8
webinars
aired once a
month during
the school
year.
The next
webinar,
“Mollifying
Video Game
Ingestion to
Combat
Obesity and
Diet Crisis”
airs
February 8th
at 9:00
p.m. A link
to the PCW
website
along with
downloadable
instructions
for the
webinar can
be found on
the GP
Parents page
under the
Parent’s
Club
heading.
Of
particular
interest to
our
Georgetown
Prep
community is
the Student
Leader
Breakfast,
which will
be held,
February 8th
in the
Hanley
Center.
Upperclass
students
from PCW
member high
schools
gather to
discuss
topics of
interest to
students in
independent
schools in
the DC
area.
Student
comments are
kept
anonymous to
encourage
open and
candid
discussions.
This has
been a
well-attended
event and is
one of the
highlights
of the PCW
calendar.
The
follow-up to
this event
will be the
Dean’s
Luncheon in
March that
will give
the school
administrators
the
opportunity
to learn
about the
issues the
students
discussed.
The next PCW
Best
Practices
program will
take place
on March 1st
at the
National
Presbyterian
School. The
program will
run from
9:15 a.m. to
12:00 p.m.
with a light
breakfast at
8:30 a.m.
The topic
will be
“Encouraging
Kindness in
our Schools:
A forum to
share how
schools
cultivate
kindness and
respond to
bullying."
Unlike other
years, this
program is
open to all
parents of
PCW member
schools. A
formal
invitation
will follow
and we
encourage
you all to
save the
date!
