SPOTTING GOSPEL VALUES

Congratulations to the entire first grade, who won this week's Gospel Value Spotting Award for showing respect and teamwork. They participated in a beautiful way at Wednesday's mass. They responded with full hearts, sang with fervor, and showed leadership. First graders will have a dress down day on Monday.

EARLY DISMISSAL

FIRST COMMUNION

Congratulations to all of our students who made their First Holy Communion this weekend and last. May the Holy Spirit bless you abundantly with His gifts and grace!

3rd GRADE STEWARDSHIP

The third grade stewardship focus is on the hungry. Through creative outreach projects and classroom activities, we have been helping the students recognize a general sense of gratitude that encourages compassion and fuels the desire to give back to others.


Their second activity this year went on a field trip to learn about and serve at Cultivate Food Rescue.  Cultivate is devoted to ending the cycle of hunger in the local communities of northern Indiana by providing a food rescue service. Students packed and labelled meals to be distributed in the area.
