Tuesday afternoon, we kicked off "The Grace Period", our new mentoring program. Students were split into 47 different groups and met all throughout our building and outside. Every 3-4 weeks, these groups will take time to meet in The Grace Period. These groups will remain constant throughout a student's time at Elyria Catholic. As seniors graduate, we will replace them with new freshmen. This is a time to grow together, get to know students you otherwise would not, and to build our community. We are all going to accompany each other and build relationships. The Grace Period will allow not only students, but also faculty and staff, to have discussions, ask questions, and get to know each other. The adult leading the group can be another trusted adult for the students, and the older students can lead the way for the younger ones. We look forward to seeing the graces provided by The Grace Period!

Foods and Nutrition
We started the month of October with an egg recipe challenge, where students let their creative juices flow by challenging themselves to use eggs in a variety of dishes. The delightful aroma filled the halls of the North Wing all morning long. It appears that bacon and avocados add that special something to any egg dish!
A big THANK YOU to our guest judges.
