Bri Wasielewski from Total Fitness was able to walk with our students outside on Jan. 13.
Father Luke Ferris encouraged everyone to get up when their parents wake them or get up when they are asked to help with a task or get up to do their chores. He blessed the Eucharist and each of us during Mass with incense. We watched as the smoke went up, just as our prayers go up to heaven.

St. James Lutheran
The kindergarten class celebrated the end of another reading unit with a food tasting party. The theme of our unit was food. One of this week’s stories was about a cat named Yoko who loved sushi. When Yoko brought her sushi to school for snack, the other children laughed at her. Her teacher decided to have a tasting party to help the other children learn about different food (and good behavior, too!). We had 20 different foods to try at our party. Some of these included sauerkraut salad, pomegranate, rice rolls, croissants, bean salsa and buckeye balls. Some people got to try a new food for the first time. Everyone got to tell about the special food they had brought to the party. Best of all, everyone had fun and used their best manners while enjoying the food that was shared.
