5th Grade Revolutionary Wax Museum

The 5th graders hosted their Revolutionary War Wax Museum today and it was impressive. All of the students chose a person, event or document from the Revolutionary time period and then wrote a report and memorized it to share with all the Museum attendees. They also created a poster board. Families, administrators, staff, teachers and students from all the different grades attended.

Gabby was Abigail Adams and she did wonderfully!

Gabby enjoyed learning about the second First Lady of the United States.

Dance Competitions - Showbiz & Hall of Fame

Dance competition season is officially underway! Gabby competed her solo a couple weeks ago at Showbiz and placed 1st overall with a Platinum award.

This passed weekend both girls competed along with the entire studio at the Hall of Fame competition and did very well. The girls' group dances received several first overall placements and Platinum awards. Despite it not being her best performance, Gabby placed 5th overall with her solo.

Adriana's First Reconciliation

We are so proud of Adriana for receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation. She had been waiting for this day with excitement and a bit of anxiety this last year. She has been so mature and intentional as she prepared to receive this important gift from God. Here are some photos from today:

In the act...feeling so proud of her.

We love her so!
