St. Benedict School News…
There are 100 ways of having fun while learning at Saint Benedict Catholic School. Some of those took place on the 100th day of school. Preschoolers sang about 100 days of school. Kindergarteners danced while counting to 100. First grade students found out how much 2 dimensional space was filled with 100 pieces of various types of edible food. And Second graders compared the volume of 100 objects in a jar. Next week, Catholic Schools Week, students will continue a different kind of fun by celebrating all those who make a Catholic School education possible such as their parents, teachers, pastors, and parish communities.
Volunteers Wanted!!!!!!
If you would like to be an usher,
lector, or altar server, for any Mass, we
