Where to begin...

Lots has happened since we posted last month. Where to begin?


Our All Saints Day party went well. 

The older students had a live presentation

A roman soldier led the guests to where the early Christian martyrs were imprisoned and waiting to be thrown to the lions

Then a few short videos of deaths of miscellaneous saints
Our senior, as usual, was the mastermind behind the technical part

Next the beheading of St Paul


These angels welcomed guests to the waiting room of heaven

St. Peter checked the books to see if he could send them into heaven

Even the adults enjoyed getting their photo taken once admitted into heaven

We had a wonderful visit to the sisters in Middleville the next weekend. It was a much needed getaway from the storage rooms of the school. Insurance finally approved all the repairs needed to the convent from the flood damage and work should begin soon.
Playing Just One

Choir practice

End of the quarter!
Fr. Francisco gives out report cards

November is always a good time to thank our benefactors
We made a batch of eclairs 

Although not much stuck we had a snowy day. Some of the students opened a restaurant during recess.

The last couple weeks besides academics have been spent preparing our Christmas program. 
We are filming A Christmas Carol.
Here is a sneak peek...




It is hard to believe Advent is almost here 
and then Christmas!

  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!

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...
