Special thanks to Mrs. Giallombrado, Sr. Mary Antonita, and Mr. Cordova. A festive reception at the auditorium was enjoyed thanks to our generous class mothers and volunteer servers.

The Saints Play 2011

Webmaster — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:20:59 +0000

Nov. 7 & 9, 2011 – Grades 6th, 7th, and 8th students wrote their own scripts and portrayed a saint’s life with the supervision of their teachers. The plays were acted out in the auditorium in front of the Franciscan sisters, students, and parents.

From Ryan, Grade 7:

“Each play showed the saint’s life or good deed. I learned from the play that you should always stand up for what you believe in, no matter what happens. You should always be strong in your faith…”
