Field Trip
Before boarding the bus for our trip, we paired up "bus buddies!" The boys and girls knew that not only did they get to sit with their buddy, they had to make sure their buddy was safe and with the group for the whole trip!
Then it was time to board the bus. The Pre-K students were so excited and listened so well the entire time. Listening to their giggles was my favorite part of the ride!
Once we arrived at the Sisters of the Holy Child Convent - New Sharon, all the students were amazed to see the Holy Child logo and pictures of Cornelia Connelly! They held hands and walked together to greet the sisters who welcomed them joyfully. The children did an absolutely phenomenal job sharing their prayer service with the Sisters. At the end, one of the Sisters came up and thanked them, telling them how proud they all were and how she knew Cornelia would be proud, too. She even asked for the sheet music to the song so they could sing it as well! It was a beautiful experience to see the Holy Child mission alive in the Sisters and our students together.
Then, the boys and girls shared a special treat of water ice with the Sisters and had some time to sit and talk together. They brought so much joy to the Sisters and already were asking when we could go back! We are so proud of all the students for representing Holy Child Academy so well and sharing Cornelia's love and joy with the Sisters.
After our fantastic visit, we walked the students over to the "best playground ever!" They had a blast! Some of them were running so fast, we couldn't even get a picture!
It truly was a perfect morning! When we returned to school, we asked the children what their favorite part of the trip was. While they did love the bus ride, the playground, and the water ice, many thought meeting the Sisters was the best. Cornelia was definitely smiling down on all of us!
May Crowning
In May, we celebrate Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and our own mothers as well. It was wonderful to have so many moms present to share this special time!
