“Back Again”

"Welcome Back!"


First week of school has flown by, and we're back to learning.



My turn, our turn, your turn...
Year 2 of Literacy Essentials 
It does get easier, we promise 
Hang in there!
Brushing up on those Latin declensions
although outside seems much more interesting

We don't usually go to the beach the first week of school but we needed supplies for our terrariums. Try not to be too jealous :) 
God blessed us with a beautiful day!







Last years graduate joined us
and graciously consented to be buried



Best way to start off the year
Confessions and Holy Mass




Now for work on our terrariums





Beyond excited over the new train pieces
Mr Carpenter sent

Fr. Francisco stopped by and
played football with the boys

Unlike Spokane our weather was delightful 
Sr. teaches the students how to do shuttle runs

Nap time, not just for kindergarteners

Did any of you grow up playing with these blocks? I loved them as a kid.
We were given this set and the students
enjoyed testing their skills as architects. 

Barbara Day turned 93!
We went next door to L'Georges for breakfast


Buckeyes!
The squirrels compete with Fr.
to see who gets the most each year


What is school without bulletin boards
This one is in the church hall so the parishioners can have a glimpse of school activities

Sr. Maria Magdalena's latest sourdough feat,
hoagie rolls! 

Week one down, only 35 more to go!

We are looking forward to all the special feasts of Our Lady coming up. We would love to hear how you celebrate in your convents and schools.

God bless you!

  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! A very long process but we're almost finished! The gray material is a felt pin board and let me tell you, it's SUPER sticky!  Not advisable...

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...
