Stories from the Schoolyard
TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY:
On Tuesday, we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Day with a special lunch and love from the students. We were also blessed that students celebrated their teachers and other staff all week with good behavior, cards, pictures and treats. Thank you for thinking of our teachers and our staff this week!
THE AQUARIUM:
On Thursday and Friday, LCA was at the Aquarium! PreK and Kindergarten went to the Aquarium on Thursday, followed by grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 on Friday! Students were able to see many different types of aquatic species -- fish, turtles, sharks, sea lions, penguins and octopi. Students were well behaved, respectful and were even able to touch sting rays at the touch a tank! Thank you to all our chaperones!
ASCENSION MASS AND MAY PROCESSION:
On Thursday, we celebrated our May Church Service on Ascension Thursday with our May Procession. Students in grades 2 and 8 participated in the service which also included the crowning of Mary. It was a very special Mass for our students and for the community members and parents who attended. At the end of Mass, Matt S. from Lee Kennedy (the construction company building the new school) came to speak to our students, letting them know the updates from the past month and answering questions. Fr. Paul acted as the moderator for this presentation and students were able to ask lots of great questions about what is happening in our backyard. We also celebrated our Poetry Contest Finalists and Winners!
NATURE'S CLASSROOM:
On Wednesday, the 8th Grade students spent the day with Nature's Classroom, learning about our environment, sustainability and all things nature. Students were respectful and engaged in the lessons that the Nature's Classroom Staff was teaching.
