Our middle schoolers taught our 3rd & 4th graders how to make Sacrifice Beads today 🤍

“Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice…” -St. Thérèse of Lisieux

These simple strands (10 beads + 1 for an Our Father) help children count small acts of love offered to God, a beautiful way to live the Little Way each day. ✨

This morning we celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday with a fun and lively Readers Theater! 🎉📚 In honor of Dr. Seuss, our students received their scripts, practiced with their groups, and bravely performed their pieces in front of the entire school. We are so proud of their creativity, teamwork, and confidence on stage. What a wonderful way to celebrate the joy of reading! ❤️✨ #ReadAcrossAmerica #DrSeussDay
