This week, we are celebrating Vocation Awareness Week!

Each morning during our live-streamed morning announcements, our students come together to pray a special prayer dedicated to vocations and watch an inspiring video shared by local and national communities of priests and religious sisters and brothers. A very special thank you to New Orleans Seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary and at St. Joseph Abbey and College Seminary, Sisters of Life, Religious Sisters of Mercy and Legionaries of Christ for sending us videos. The students have really enjoyed watching them!

Through these daily moments of prayer and reflection, our students are learning about the many ways God calls us to serve Him and others. We pray that our Crusaders continue to open their hearts to God’s calling and discover the special plans He has for each of them!

Don’t forget to wear your Holiday Market T-shirt with uniform bottoms and shoes tomorrow! 🎄

Throwing it back to the good old-school PE days! Our Crusaders had a blast hopping, racing, and laughing their way to the finish line during some classic potato sack races!

Today, our Pre-K2, Pre-K3, and Pre-K4 students enjoyed their first monthly Chapel visit of the school year, led by our Leader of Campus Ministry and Middle School Theology teacher, Ms. Dufresne and our middle school students!

Our Little Crusaders learned about God’s beautiful creation and how He created the world and everything in it. They also practiced prayers, sang songs, and were reminded that “He’s got the whole world in His hands!” 🌎❤️

What a wonderful way for our youngest Crusaders to grow in their faith while learning from our older students! We look forward to more special Chapel visits throughout the year!

UPDATE!! Mrs. Scott’s 2nd grade class will go to the Book Fair on Thursday from 11:10-11:55!

Our Spanish students have been learning about Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), a beautiful Mexican tradition that honors and remembers loved ones who have passed away.
Students got creative by making their own ofrendas (altars), colorful papel picado, and beautiful marigold flowers. It was a fun and meaningful way to learn about the traditions and culture behind this special celebration!
