The 3rd graders are learning about the habitats of different animals. They learned about the needs and special adaptations of animals. To finish the unit, they did a porcupine habitat project. The children presented their projects and did a terrific job.
CONGRATULATIONS NEW VIATORIANS
At this week’s annual Viatorian Provincial Assembly, Paul Mertzman and Mary Ellen Dorough made their first commitment to the Viatorian Community and became VIATORIAN ASSOCIATES! This marks the end of two year journey in which both Mr. Mertzman and Mrs. Dorough attended classes and learned about the rich history of the Viatorian Order as well as what it means to live out their ministry. Viatorian associates come from all walks of life, but this much they share: They all make commitments to partner with professed Viatorians in carrying out the Viatorian mission.
