SPRING

-


Happy Spring, Everyone!

Now well I'll be! 

There's a tumbleweed in the yard!


We started off the month with celebrating our senior's 18th birthday!


Don't worry, we're just cutting cake!


Next was our Fat Tuesday games and fun at lunch. They were troopers out in the rain. 








Needless to say, the boys ended up having a better strategy 





Human Pretzel











The students had to opportunity to experience the full military honors for a recently deceased parishioner.

"Taps"




Uniformed Military Personnel 




The folding and presentation of the American flag






More fundraising for the School 



Meaning more burritos




Our "Chopping" staff



 And our cooks!




(They made their own paper hats)



The next week we added cinnamon rolls to the list of menu items for fundraising. They learned all about how yeast works and how not to kill it when baking.  




"I didn't choose the bakers life, the bakers life chose me." 







You can tell that Sister was having the most fun





In the meantime, the weather has been pleasant so we've been working on our softball/baseball skills




The junior high and high school experienced art class with one of our talented parishioners 





They enjoyed it immensely 



We attended a Hillsdale convention in Cincinnati and after Sr. Maria Magdalena was able to visit with her twin brother, Michael, who she hasn't seen since she was a postulant. (Please keep him in your prayers)



The following day we had the Archery State tournament in Lansing





We had to volunteer as line judges



The Feast of St. Joseph went well with singing a High Mass and having breakfast with parishioners afterwards




Fr. Saunders even joined in the choir







Father was also able to visit with the upper grades and tell them many facts about Canada






Now, we couldn't attend one of the students birthday party so in order to make it up to him, we made a deal to make animal balloons instead. But that meant we had to learn how to do so...


After many tries...


 And some new balloons later 


It ended up working out just fine and they loved it






And now the paint saga... Long story short, we meant to get the school repainted when school got out and before we left for the summer, but it ended up that it's being painted now!!! And after four visits to Sherwin Williams, we have finally found suitable colors for the classrooms and hallways.

This blue was a no-go for the hallways but yes for Father and Sr. Maria Magdalena's rooms 



We ended up having to move everything into the middle of the rooms









and fix up a bit of damage in places as well 




It's looking nice and fresh so far!



More to come soon! 

Blessed Laetare Sunday!

  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...
