<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Francisca shares her experience</strong>:<br />
<em>I felt nervous on the the day of the Ring Ceremony, eventhough I was well-prepared. When the hour came close, we made our way to the little corridor where we lit our candles. The music began and we started our sacred march as we sang &#8220;Warm the Time of Winter.&#8221; When the time came for us to get our rings, I think everyone had butterflies in the stomach. You could feel the unity among us. We went to the reception after the mass. The snacks were delicious and so were the beverages. The pictures felt as if they would never end. Picture after picture we waited until they were done, blinded by all the flashes, not sure of which camera to look at first. The Ring Ceremony was great overall. It was a beautiful spiritual ceremony. I am proud to be an eight grader of 2011!</em></p>
<p><strong>Congratulations to our wonderful 8th graders!</strong></p>
