It was a beautiful day for Kinder to create St. Patrick's Day artwork with their buddy class. Students love sharing these special moments and activities.
March has been busy in TK. Students celebrated Read Across America with numerous activities, including Pajama Day, dressing as their favorite book character, and even trying Green Eggs and Ham! St. Patrick's Day was also full of fun learning activities and a pot of gold for all to enjoy.
Kindergarteners kicked off Read Across America week with a visit to the library to choose books and read with their 8th grade buddy class. Then kindergartners made "hat towers" after reading The Cat in the Hat. It was a fun day in Kinder!
We started Lent last week with Ash Wednesday Mass and prayer services. Our students and staff received ashes as a visible symbol of repentance, mortality, and humility before God.
