Reporting from Monday Morning Magic November 27, 202, post-Thanksgiving weekend edition!

First day of winter uniforms and we got the heat on in the gym for the first time this year woohoo! 😂 🔥
First and sixth had perfect attendance… but NO ONE won the on-time award last week 👀 Just as a reminder for our parents, when a class has all students in on time, they are entered into a drawing for the week, and we pick a winning class the following Monday. Mrs. O’Callaghan brings them donuts! ⏰🍩✅
Lots of virtues for CHARITY this week—students helping students! Mrs. O’Callaghan awarded our elementary school aide Mrs. Nicholls for PRUDENCE for being such a great support staff member for our teachers—she’s always willing to step in and do whatever is needed for our students!🌟
And Jimmy awarded the whole choir for FAITH and the excellent music they provide us at mass every Friday! 🎤🎶🎵
Saints Circles: Encouraging each other.
Mrs. O’Callaghan mentions the award Alejandra was given for CHARITY: always saying “Good Morning” to teachers, helping students organize their things, holding the door for others. Mrs. O reminds 8th grade that as leaders of the school, they are called to be an example for all the other students in the school. 🙏🏽
How can we encourage each other?
- Cheering each other on 🎉
- Inviting people to play at recess helps them not to be alone 🏈
- If someone isn’t sure about trying something new, you can support them because they might not know what they’re missing! 💪🏽
- Helping other students to complete hard math problems ✖️➗➕➖
And our Saints are ready to start “Just Another Manic Monday!” 🎉
