Last week was definitely a week of fun and adventures. Catholic Schools Week started off with a Prayer Service presented by the 7th grade students. It is always nice when we all come together to pray. On Tuesday we all gathered in the gym for a fun presentation that was loud, fun and very active. A couple of basketball players delivered the message to believe in yourself and never give up. The children had fun taking part in fun ball catching and throwing events. Michael Jordan would be proud. On Wednesday, the children enjoyed a visit from the dentist. They learned how to take of their teeth, prevent cavities and how to brush the correct way. They were very excited about their goodies bags from the dentist. Thursday started off cheering on the blue and white. The children fully immersed themselves in the competitive spirit. It was wonderful watching them cheer each other on and engage in true sportsmanship. All were winners because we had such a great time. The week ended with Mass on Friday. The Priest talked about St. Blaise and we all got our throats blessed, the children were wonderful. Thank you for making Teacher Appreciation Day so nice. We all really appreciated the donations and the delicious Moe's lunch.
