My experience with catholic school has been Saturday mornings and 2 weeks in the summer attending Catholic classes taught by strict nuns very strict nuns.
When Bryan told me that he and mary were going to send the boys to a private Catholic school, I thought oh oh.
Well I love this school. I love that the boys are thriving, making friends, getting a great education, including religion and they are all getting straight A’s. Most I love that family’s are included - encouraged to participate.
All Saints Day
Each year the third graders dress up as a chosen Saint and families are invited to attend mass with the kids. This year we got to see Owen dressed as Saint Michael the archangel.

The 3rd graders lined the hallway entering the church while we entered
for mass.

Grandparents Day
Each year we are treated by the kids to visit their classes, meet their teachers and spend sometime learning about their life everyday at school. We got to visit Owen’s and Luke’s classroom, meet their teachers and saw the desks where they spend the majority of their day. Roger is in 7th grade and travels from classroom to classroom. He did take us down to his favorite, the science lab, where he helps caring for the class turtles.

The we all went down to attend mass with all the kids who had grandparents there that day. When all the kids stood up and sang and blessed each of their grandparents - I gotta tell you it tears me up.

The Nutcracker
Each year the 5th grade puts on the play The Nutcracker. This year Luke was selected to be a clown. He’s played the part perfect. Though it was a little difficult to figure out which one he was.

The clowns were my favorite part of the play. Just saying.

Yes, I love this school.
And last and the best. Luke’s 5th grade basketball team brought home a first place trophy in the tournament last week.

He took the shot (he’s number 25) to take it into overtime when his friend (the other Luke in his class) got the winning shot.
I’m glad Bryn nd Mary found this gem of a school where they teach and care for my grandsons.
