Greetings, As we reach the conclusion of our Red Ribbon Week, it has served as a good reminder for students about how to make healthy choices for both their bodies and their minds.  Pope John Paul II expressed in Theology of the Body the concept of one’s body being a gift from God to be used to...Read More

Greetings, Being in the middle of October is affording us the chance to cover seasonal content across all subject areas.  Starting with Literature, both Seventh and Eighth Grade students are reading classic short stories from the horror genre by authors such as Washington Irving, Roald Dahl, and Edgar Allan Poe.  Interestingly enough, some of these...Read More
