Sensory spelling in third grade today was a blast! Whether it's spelling words in shaving cream, with chalk on a chalkboard, making words out of play doh or spelling the words in sand, hearing the students read and spell aloud with friends is always fun!
As a way to celebrate and learn about our rich faith history, 4th grade students researched a saint and presented to their classmates. Listening to them share why they chose a saint, a special relationship they have with a saint and facts about their saint was such a treat.
Our students and parents made a beautiful ofrenda to honor and remember those who have passed before us on Dia de los Muertos. May the memories of our departed loved ones continue to bring us comfort, joy, and guidance.
Preschool students dressed as Saints for All Saints Day and visited Monsignor Brownsey. He told a small story about each saint represented, bringing the saints to life for the children. We are blessed to have Monsignor as our shepherd at St. Mark School!
As we celebrate All Saints Day, we remember those who have gone before us and are in Heaven and we look to them as models in virtue and faith. Their love and devotion to God has earned them a place by His side. May we always strive to guide our students on a path to sainthood.
