We are well into the second nine weeks, approaching the Advent season, and making the most of the instructional days before Christmas. Walking the campus, you are likely to see students working on hands on STREAM activities as students learn about electrical circuits, sink or float, how to measure and record data, the water cycle, and more. You might hear classes singing Christmas songs as they prepare for the annual Christmas concert. If you were here on Wednesday, you could have witnessed the living history "museums" that populated the halls as students shared their Biography Day reports which were the culmination of research, note taking, writing a research paper, practicing presentation skills, and, in many cases, coming up with creative ideas for costumes.

                On Biography Day, the saints, authors, presidents and first ladies, historical figures from American history, Texas history, and world history, athletes, and other "famous" people paraded around Marian Hall pausing to announce their subjects to the assembly. The students were reminded that God had a plan for each of the people they learned. Just as surely, God has a plan for each of their lives - a plan that uses their unique gifts and talents in a way that will bring them happiness while making the world a better place.

Thank you for being part of the mission and ministry of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School.
