Miss Kerwin’s 4th grade class learned about Native American culture during November. They began research on their Longhouse projects and wove Wampum Belts. Belts made of wampum were used to mark agreements between peoples, including the Haudenosaunee. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Miss Reeves' physical science students explored chemical reactions this morning by making hot chocolate. They discussed the reactants, products, made a model of the reaction and made inferences about the solubility of the cocoa mix if they used cold water instead of hot water.
Our Kindergarten participated in a Nativity Scavenger Hunt this morning with Mrs. Egleston. They discussed the real reason for Christmas and each student was proudly showing off the Nativity scene they made. Our children are so blessed to be able to learn about Jesus' birth in school!
Here is one of the multi-step process activities our Montessori students have the ability to work on each day. For this activity, they need to fill the water & soap, wash the animal, dump out the “dirty” water and then clean up all the materials! #MontessoriMoment

At our Tues. edition of school Mass led by grade 7, Fr. Joe drove home the point that words are nothing without actions to back them, even words of thanksgiving. He also had some really cool vestments on in honor of the feast of The Presentation of Mary! #feasts #thanksgiving
Today we celebrate the feast of The Presentation of Mary. This feast day is based on an ancient tradition that says Mary was taken to the temple in Jerusalem when she was 3-years-old and dedicated to God. What we celebrate on this day is the fact that God chose to dwell in Mary in a very special way. In response, Mary placed her whole self at the service of God. Every moment since your Baptism, God invites you to be open to his grace and dedicate yourself to him, as Mary did.
