Our second grade class celebrated All Saints Day with the OLBS community last week by researching and dressing up as the saints that inspire them.  At Mass, each student proudly shared his or her saint’s name and feast day. The great variety of saints that they students chose showed that holy people come from all backgrounds, nations, and times.

Neighborhood Coordination Officer Daniel Foran visited OLBSCA with McGruff the Crime Dog and Sergeant Kevin Colvin as a follow up to the Parent meeting on October 4 on bullying prevention. The students and teachers in grades 1 to 4 enjoyed the visit and had the opportunity to share their knowledge and ask questions. The Neighborhood Coordination Officers will be returning to school to speak with the rest of the Academy. Their next visit is scheduled for November 5 with Kindergarten as part of their Stranger Danger program.

Mrs. Randazzo’s Pre-K class went for a school tour. They were introduced to the program support staff and had them share how they are helpful. The students enjoyed becoming familiar with the principal, the director, the nurse, the secretaries, the custodians, and the security guard. They learned that these important adults take care of the school and the children.

On Thursday, October 4, Father Bob blessed the animals of students in Mrs. Ragusa’s kindergarten class to celebrate the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. 

Please join us the annual blessing of the animals on Saturday, October 6, at 11:00am on the OLBS church steps.
