(more pics of this event coming soon!)
Our All Saints' Day celebration went off without a hitch, as our good and gracious God blessed us with gorgeous fall weather as a backdrop! Students wore their saint costumes proudly, as they paraded to and through the school parking lot to enjoy trunk or treating before Mass. Parent volunteers generously opened their trunks to our students, with themed car decorations and treats to reflect the life of a saint! St. Michael the Archangel, St. Sebastian, St. Padre Pio, and St. Kateri Tekakwitha were a few of the holy men and women who "pulled into the parking lot" for our students to visit with. Our middle school students had a rather special day as well, as they received their new F A M House shirts! This "house system" is a new addition to our middle school program, and offers students the opportunity to develop friendships outside of their grade level as they participate in various challenges and activities throughout the year! Shirts for each of the houses (Frassati, Acutis, and Molla) were distributed to demonstrate house pride and camaraderie, as well as to honor the saints for which their house was named.
Our National Junior Honor Society students were busy at work this week, as they sorted and boxed up the numerous cans and non-perishable items that were donated by our generous school families! The St. Vincent de Paul Society will be using the food items collected to create Thanksgiving baskets/dinners for those in need.
Thank you so much for your continued outpouring of love and generosity!
We are grateful, thankful, and truly blessed.
Enjoy the weekend with your families.
Stop by the Vendor Fair tomorrow if you are able
