November 17th was the Feast Day of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. She was known for her great stewardship. She gave her time and treasures to those in need by feeding the hungry and caring for the sick. 4th grade would like to thank two special ladies, Mrs. Luckett and Mrs. Runyon, who help provide them with healthy nutritious meal at our school.
November Spirit Day
November 15 was the Feast of St. Albert the Great. He was given the title Great because of the way he used his mind to help many people. St. Albert teaches us that faith and science can work together and help us grow closer to God. 4th Grade made a chain of thank you’s to Mrs. Herrmann, our Mark & Chris Buche SmartLab instructor, who helps our students learn more about the world around them.
November 13th was the Feast of St. Homobonus. He is one of the few laity (a person who is not a priest, monk, or nun) saints. St. Homobonus came from a wealth family, but lived humbly and gave many of the money he earned to the poor and needed. He is the patron saint of businesspeople. Fourth grade would like to thank the two businesspeople at our school that do so much. Mrs. Bannwarth, the school’s office manager, and Mrs. LeBrun, the school’s development director.
