100 Days of Fun & Formation
For other classes, it was 100 M&M’s that were shared as a special treat and 100 flowers artfully arranged on a poster. Some classes spent the day engrossed in SETM activities breaking down number combinations while building math skills. It was also a day where the learning was as steady as day 99 and will be on day 101. No matter what day it is, we are so happy to be a part of our students’ lives! #100thdayofschool #calledtobeaSAINT

Mass 1.17.20 – Big and Small Things
On Fridays, all of St. Alphonsus Catholic School students attend mass and worship together. Faith formation is an important part of their St. Al’s education.
This morning, our elementary students shared their understanding of today’s mass message.
– “By the way, we go to Mass to pray and praise God.” (Amen.)
– “Today Father told us about St. Anthony Abbott and he had 600 followers… He gave all his stuff away; his clothes, his house, EVERYTHING!… That was hard to do because those are hard choices…. He gave it all away to help the poor.”
Taking it a step further, these students knew that it doesn’t always have to be “big” things that we do as followers of Christ. They worked as groups and came up with ideas of “small” things they could do to help the poor, like St. Anthony Abbott. They decided to:
– raise money
– share food (“It’s sad when people have to eat out of the trash sometimes.”)
– build a house
– give away clothes that are too small and cant fit anymore
– donate old toys that aren’t played with anymore
– give money to help or jobs to do
