Our new climbing dome was a big hit at recess!

On Wednesday we prayed the Stations of the Cross, led by our E2 students.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you,
for by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world.

With the Solemnity of St. Joseph and the Annunciation over the last two weeks, Level 3 CGS students had to choose the top virtues they thought Mary and Joseph demonstrated.

For the Solemnity of St. Joseph, elementary students made bread with symbolic shapes, like lilies and crosses.

We know it's been a while since our Gala, but we want to say one more big THANK YOU to our sponsors! We are so grateful!

We’ve had a fun morning this St. Patrick’s Day!
- Some sneaky leprechauns made a mess in Children’s House
- Daycare enjoyed a green sensory bin with shamrocks
- Elementary colored pictures of St. Patrick

“Clearly, we have a social duty towards this future man, this man who exists as a silhouette around the child, a duty towards this man of tomorrow. Perhaps a great future leader or a great genius is with us and his power will come from the power of the child he is today. This is the vision which we must have.”
- Maria Montessori, The 1946 London Lectures

Children’s House has a Lenten work of identifying and putting into correct order the Stations of the Cross. Here two students show their completed work!

Elementary students worked diligently last week before spring break began!
