Students in 8th grade Spanish made a traditional craft to celebrate Easter! Cascarones are confetti filled eggs that are used in many celebrations, and getting one cracked over your head is a sign of good luck!
A few fun projects we've been doing in 7th grade enrichment. Our first project required building a chair for a stuffed animal only using paper and tape. Our second project involved each student getting assigned a family that they had to design houses, pools, gardens, garages, etc. for. Both projects turned out really well and I think they had fun getting to be creative.

We thank Fr. Brian for spending time this afternoon in our 6th Grade Personal Finance class. He used scriptures to remind us we are stewards of our gifts and talents, of our money, and our whole lives. We use our God-given gifts / talents to earn money, we use our God-given intelligence to manage money, and we use money to take care of our families and take care of others around us.
