Religion:
Religion: This year, the students are learning about the seven sacraments. They will also learn more about how to connect with their faith. Students reflect on what they learn by doing weekly journal assignments that relate to topics we discuss in class. Journals are always due on Tuesdays! Students also interact with faith and the Gospel by reading the Venture magazine each week.
Canned Food: The 5th graders and their kindergarten partners put their beliefs into practice by donating canned food each week to St. Agatha's Parish, our sister parish. Children are encouraged to bring a canned food item to school on Thursdays to bring to Mass.
