What a great week we have had!  Finishing off Catholic School's week with Jesse Manibusan teaching, singing and praying with the kids. 
Congrats to our Super Bowl of Books Champions!!!  Here's our top 3
 teams pictured with Jesse Manibusan.

Then the Young Americans arrived.  Just take a few minutes to look at the pictures on our Queen of Peace Facebook page  to see just how our school transformed this week.  Also, check out our ticket traile r.  The Young Americans ignited a spirit in the kids that was second to none.  They inspired the students to be positive, supportive, respectful, and kind while they performed.  We can't thank them enough for what they brought to our school.  WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY COME BACK!

While the 4-8th graders enjoyed the YA - our K4-K5 and Primary students enjoyed Little OM - Big OM and Kindermusik.  Another great week to be part of the  QP Community.
