Our Kindness Tree is blooming with acts of kindness.   Another leaf goes on the tree with each act of kindness.   Students also participated in a Cathlic Faith/Bible Trivia Contest and enjoyed a movie at the Quaker Theatre.   We had a great turnout at Family Appreciation Day for Mass and a reception.
We also set aside days to honor our wonderful students and staff.   The theme for the week was "Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed."
