As the weather warms up, we are watching the snow and ice on our ponds, streams, and roads melt away. Last month, right before the rink closed, we took the entire school ice skating (at a “real rink”). You will notice that this is a very practical lesson in physics! Here are a few pictures.
With Christmas only three days away, our Sisters, students, families, and faculty wish our readers and benefactors a most blessed Christmas season! You are all in our prayers. A special thank you to everyone who sent a Christmas donation (see button in margin) or helped us acquire something on our wish list (see right margin). [...]
We had a beautiful day yesterday with five First Holy Communions and our annual May Procession. The school children have central roles in the procession, during which four statues are crowned. Our Lady is truly the Queen of our Hearts! Keep “reading” for pictures from this event.

The education provided by public school is a subject that has been on my mind, and I think it needs [...]
February 10, 2010 Dear Mr. President, I am an American girl and a citizen, who, like you, believes our country is wonderful. I also feel that it needs some changes. I really respect the fact that you are a president who believes in being a man of the people, and you want to make America [...]
