October was busy with many things happening in the
classroom. I was able to capture a
few of the activities.
- Archbishop Lucas stopped by to visit the school on Monday, October 5. He was in town to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday, October 4th.
- On Tuesday, October 6th students and teachers gathered together at the gazebo downtown to take part in Walk to School. We had excellent turnout with 2nd/3rd and 4th/5th having one hundred turnout. They would later enjoy a popcorn party sponsored by Safe Kids and also receive a book about walking safely.
- Wednesday, October 14th we held our annual balloon rosary. It was a beautiful day praying the rosary and thankful for all those who joined us.
- The week of October 5-9th the third grade students took Terra Nova tests. The second graders spent time that week having class in other rooms in the school.
