Mini Vinnies are sponsoring their Annual Food Drive! This food drive helps our St. Vincent DePaul Society fill Thanksgiving food baskets for the needy in our parish. We are asking each grade to donate specific items that are still needed for the baskets. Please choose from the items listed for your grade. Thank you for your generosity!
Liberty comes at a price, and the men and women who serve our country are willing to pay that price for our freedom and peace. We thank you, we salute you, and we honor you. Thank you to all Veterans! “Every day, there are heroes who never meant to be. People give, people care. There are heroes everywhere.”

2nd grade is learning about the properties of matter and how to test for flexibility. They tried to bend plastic spoons, metal spoons, rubber bands, straws, and spaghetti noodles. They felt strong when they broke the metal spoons! They all did a small taste test on the spaghetti noodles. Great Job, 2nd grade!

Faith Families met on Thursday morning. They learned about thankfulness and prayer and wrote petitions and prayers on their group's pumpkin.
"God picks you from the patch and brings you in. He washes off the dirt. He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see."
