Kindergarten got to paint pumpkins this week. They are wonderful and creative kids!



These students were showing reverence during the month of October. They demonstrated deep respect for God, for others, and honored Him through their actions in P.E., music, SmartLab, recess, library, and lunch. Great work, students!


We were so blessed to have Bishop DeGrood join us for our Feast of St. John Paul II Mass celebration. God is good!

Our PES Sisters  wanted to share some pictures of our time with the younger students last week. They were very attentive to our teaching on reverence in the Mass and during prayer. We shared about how important silence is, to be attentive during mass, and to hold our hands together when we pray. We also reminded them of the importance of being reverent during the consecration during mass and we shared about St. Margaret Mary, as it was her feast day last week. We are so grateful to have the Pro Ecclesia Sancta Sisters, they are so wonderful with our students!











Mrs. Olson's 1st grade painted pumpkins donated by Gus Hostler's family. Thank you so much for your generosity!
