Greetings from Dr. G
It was an uplifting week in our halls.
On Halloween students in grades K-2 lifted the hearts of many people as they paraded through the halls and across the street to Church Hill Village in costume, waving and calling hello to all they met. Kindergarten was especially captivating with their 101 Dalmations theme. Thanks to Mrs. B for organizing this parade, to our creative teachers/aides and to Officer Perez for leading the students safely across the street. It was a traffic stopping, heartwarming excursion.
On Tuesday we gathered at Mass for All Saints Day. Monsignor reminded us about the inspiratonal lives of the saints and how they are wonderufl role models. As a special tribute, two students from Sister Thaddeus' seventh grade Religion class, Kenneth McGahren and Shivanjali Bhagania, shared the stories of their chosen Saints, St. Peter and St .Rose of Lima. They did a terrific job as did all of the students who learned about and reported on these faithful men and women over the past weeks. It is a gift to live our faith openly as part of our daily education.
