Stories from the Schoolyard
Book Fair and Ice Cream Social
Wednesday night we had a fantastic time at the Book Fair and Ice Cream Social! It was fun to see so many families spending time together and having a great night. Ms. Loughlin also handed out vegetables and had a spinning wheel of health!
First and Second Grade Field Trip
On Thursday, First and Second Grade went on a field trip to Parlee Farms. They picked apples, pumpkins, went on a hayride and played on the property! This was an exciting trip for our students because they were able to go somewhere new and have new experiences. We are so grateful for the Cummings Foundation and their grant that makes these field trips possible!

Prefects and Class Representatives
Our 15 prefects and 7 class representatives will be meeting every week to discuss different events that they want to sponsor at LCA and to provide feedback about things going on at school. Stay tuned here to find out what they are up to!
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!
8th Grade Placement Updates
Brag Sheets are now overdue. Please get them in Tuesday!
