 Hello!

It's been very busy here since our All Saints' Day Party with much time going into the Christmas Production and other school duties...




Another update on the mural... for a time they took down the scaffolding for a wedding but now it is back up



We had a breakfast burrito/bake sale for our archery team



The junior high and high school worked with Sr. Bernardine Marie making burritos 




while the elementary grades helped 
Sr. Maria Magdalena with the baked goods making sourdough pumpkin bread





They had a blast learning how to use a scale to measure the ingredients and the sale ended up raising over $500


Christmas production prop time...
Making a tree is a big ordeal over here... 



And this is just the beginning of it





Also, our handy-man junior student is constructing Goliath for the Christmas Play




This was his test model to make sure that it would work




Scuba Steve had to get into the action as well helping us



For Thanksgiving, we were able to take some time away on a road trip to Ohio




We visited Our Lady of Consolation Minor Basilica in Carey, OH
Main Altar 






Right side Altar; encased statue of Our Lady of Consolation

Outdoor Shrine/Stations of the Cross



Lower Chapel with Relics, Statues and Pictures

St. Catherine of Alexandria






The Original outfit worn by the statue in 1913




Next excursion was to Hocking Hills

Cedar Falls















On the way home...
we visited the chapel of Maria Stein 
and what used to be the Convent of the Sisters of the Precious Blood





Relics Chapel
Center is a relic of the True Cross






















Another relic of the True Cross





A part of the casket of Fr. Chaminade

  Fr. Francisco's birthday surprise  Scuba Steve looks a bit different today This was a well kept secret Sr Maria Magdalena's class helped prepare the shark ice cream sandwiches The rest of the week was normal classes Phelipe makes an appearance Mr. Malik is teaching personal finance to the high school class While the high school has math the rest of the school does science together  Me asking Blessed Mother for help.  This was a Mary Poppins cabinet!  Trying to move into the old convent of the school had a few challenges.  Tino came to the rescue.  Actually his owner Kisa, a newer parishioner spent about 3 hours helping us clean out and organize the kitchen. Tino was an added bonus and offered much needed stress relief.  Sister's face says it all. Another cabinet to clean out, really? Saturday we started cleaning out the science cabinet. We needed to find supplies for an upcoming class. Why do children love these things? I asked them to remo...

Greetings! So for our third week we have been getting some help with the convent landscaping amongst other little things The Elementary Grades classroom has been going under construction with moving and removing many books and we finally found a place that will take a very big cabinet we dismantled from the wall Here's Lucky feeling lucky with her new bedding after a major deep clean of her habitat    We ended up returning Paco after 3 days due to some noticeable neurological problems.  Which brings us to our newest member, Felipe! He's a chunk and absolutely adorable! We have finally got up our chalkboard and decal in the lunch room 💖 We also plan on hanging another chalk board with our monthly school activities and so began the process  This outfit has not been "Sr. Therese Marie Approved" so don't try this at home!

These last few weeks we have been wrapping up filming our Christmas program and preparing for singing at the Wayne Museum Is that Scrooge doing CAD? Boys getting in their exercise in the midst of filming! "Sister, Sister, watch this!" Sister showing the littles how to improve their culinary skills  Sisters from Middleville came to visit. So we got some coffee and had a crafting day! What Thanksgiving prep looks like... especially when you've used all the bowls in the kitchen. We were able to spend a lovely evening with Fr. Francisco and the Sisters  Ohio beat Michigan... so Bo got a makeover O-H-I-O Last week of filming consisted of a ton of makeup and glitter Practicing lines on the students Training in the newbies  Sister getting Jacob Marley ready  Filming with 3rd graders is fun until they end up knocking down the curtain even after you kindly reminded them to be careful swinging the bag 13 times! Besides filming this last week, we had lunch at the Wayne Fire Sta...
