Stories from the Schoolyard
Happy Thanksgiving
This week, we celebrated Thanksgiving in a multitude of ways -- from PreK's Friendsgiving Celebration, to classes in second and third grade reading Balloons over Broadway, to fifth and sixth graders giving flowers to the faculty and staff they appreciate, it was a great time to be at LCA!
I hope everyone had a blessed and safe Thanksgiving! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday for the beginning of the Second Term!
Report Cards and Parent/Teacher Conferences
Report Cards will be sent home on Friday. On Monday, December 9, we will have Parent/Teacher Conferences. There will not be school, and you should make your appointment directly with your child's teacher.

Prefects and Class Representatives
Our 15 prefects and 7 class representatives have started meeting! They will be working on planning a Spirit Week for December 16-20.
Prefects are 8th Grade students who help our younger students, help their teachers, set a good example, are motivated and dedicated to LCA and push themselves to be better every day. These students are seen as role models and leaders and are looked at as trustworthy, kind, responsible and students who embody our core values. Our Class Representatives are students in 7th Grade who will help the younger students have their voices heard at LCA. They will meet with younger students and bring their ideas to the older students. They are role models who younger students can look up to.
Confirmation Updates
The Archdiocese of Boston has shifted the age at which young people receive the Sacrament of Confirmation to the end of Grade 8.
Confirmation preparation programs take place in parishes (as opposed to at LCA). Each parish determines the length of its Confirmation preparation program (one year during Grade 8 . . . or two years in Grades 7 and 8 . . . or other). To find out about your parish’s Confirmation Preparation program, all Grade 7 and 8 Catholic families should inquire and register at their parishes.
We hope all our Catholic students will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of Grade 8!
