Happy February! The days are a light a little longer. Hooray! Today was the closing mass for Catholic Schools' Week. It was great to see so many of our alumni from all age levels there to celebrate with us. One thing I always enjoy is when we get to see the kids we had as students who are now in high school or college - and to get hugs from these nearly adult kids. I love it! It was a nice way to end the week. The kids (and teachers!) had a nice student appreciation day by having Tuesday off. Me - I actually WENT to school on Tuesday before I found out there wasn't any. That wasn't the first time I've done that. I hadn't realized it was icy on other roads because our road was perfectly fine and the temperature was 27 so we hadn't even turned on the radio, TV, or computer! Our granddaughters were just about ready for school, too. They were pretty excited when I got home and told them no school! We slept in on Wednesday.
In a few short days it will be Lent. On Monday, we will be meeting with Father to learn more about St. Blase and get our throats blessed. We had the lesson on this saint today for Religion. I am happy Father is going to do this because, unfortunately, not too many of our kids get to Mass on weekends to get their throats blessed then. ( With Reconciliation and First Communion coming soon, I would hope Mass attendance for my second graders will increase.) We will also be doing projects during Lent for Religion.
This month's quilt is based on the story "Mama, Do You Love Me?" In this story, a young girl presents her mother with different scenarios and wants to know if her mother would still love her. We all know the answer is "YES!"
We also made groundhogs and put then on a paper with a poem and displayed them in the hall.
I will try and add some pictures here of the tie-dyed shirts and the January and February quilt squares.
Have a nice weekend!
