Mission Week!

This week at Holy Child, we celebrated the founding of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus by Cornelia Connelly. The Sisters began the Holy Child schools 178 years ago! We remember our joint mission and the seven goals which unite all our schools.

We began our celebration on Tuesday morning with our Founders Day prayer service and Service Commissioning. At HCA, each grade is assigned a service partner to work with throughout the year. The Pre-K and Kindergarten students are the "School Drive Coordinators" so stay tuned to help us help those in need.

Thanks to Emmy in Kindergarten and Aubrie
in Pre-K for accepting our plaques
at the prayer service.

We started today off with a pep rally to celebrate our HCA community and all our athletic teams. From Soccer Shots, to cross country, to volleyball, and flag football, the teachers and students cheered on our amazing athletes!

On Founders Day, Cornelia Connelly would give the Sisters the day off from teaching and the older students would teach the younger students their lessons. Today, we culminated Mission Week just like Cornelia Connelly did with the Sisters. The 5th grade students are our buddy class and they came to our classroom during our Montessori work time to help the students with their lessons (don't worry, the teachers didn't take the day off). Friendships were formed and the students are already asking when we can get together again!
