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!




Preschool enjoyed learning about life on the farm last week. Thank you Alley family for sharing what you do on the farm!
