GROWING IN GRACE

Faith In Action

Faith In Action

Catholic 7th graders at St. Anne-Pacelli are preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation on May 14th at St. Anne Church. Last week, High School Senior Molly McKenna spoke to these students during a special retreat. She talked about what it means to live your faith as a teen, and emphasized the importance of daily prayer life.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Rainy Day Fun

When it was too wet to go outside last week, 2nd graders in Mrs. Young's classroom learned about the sport of cup stacking with Lower School Physical Education Teacher Ms. Doblin.

Cup stacking involves stacking cups in specific sequences in as little time as possible.

Bringing Ancient History to Life

Biblical Meal Presentation

Sixth graders enjoyed a field trip to the Explorations in Antiquity Center in LaGrange on April 15th. The center helps people encounter the ancient Biblical world through its history and culture.

During their visit, students had the opportunity to view authentic archaeological replicas and enjoyed a Biblical meal presentation.

Book Arts

Book Arts projects by 7th and 8th grade 3D Art students are on display in the Lower School Media Center. The craft of altered books is part bookbinding, part mixed-media collage, and part scrapbooking.

Students presented their projects in a critique; the altered books will be on display through May.

ON THE FIELD

Put Me In, Coach!

Braves Game Field Trip

Our varsity baseball team spent the afternoon watching the Atlanta Braves play the Miami Marlins at Turner Field on April 15th.

For five of these students, seeing the Braves play in person was a first-time experience!
