Ash Wednesday Activities

On the morning of Ash Wednesday, the entire school met for our monthly Bible Quest activity.  In groups, students searched the Bible looking for examples of the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.  It was a challenging activity that got everyone thinking about how to help others in this season of Lent.  
In the afternoon, the fifth through eighth grades spent a good portion of the afternoon making fleece tie blankets as a service project.  These blankets will be donated to area emergency service responders to be given to those who have experienced traumatic events.  We thank Carrie Geissler and Julia Jurczak for their help and guidance with this project.  Thanks also to the Christian Mothers Society for funding this project.
