It's apple season! Classes all over St. Francis ELA are counting apples, exploring apples, and applying what they've learned! (See what we did there?) Fall is a fantastic time to explore the world as a preschooler! Check out our blog post from last year that gives some tips and hints on what to do with your child to extend their learning during the season! https://lcss.org/benefits-of-talking-aloud/

Did you catch the story about our St. Francis Rain Garden in The Catholic Moment? We've been seeing monarchs stopping by on their way south! Read the article and how Mrs. T worked with Dr. Lindsay Payne's EEE 472 class at Purdue to make this project come to life (literally): https://indd.adobe.com/view/d7aaddf4-5235-4b50-9354-192797e6f9cc

Today we were joined by Bishop Doherty for the blessing of our new St. Francis Rain Garden. These native plants help with drainage but also serve as a habitat for pollinators. The children love to spot butterflies, bees, and other creatures in this little garden! Thank you to Dr. Bagnoli for gifting us this beautiful space. Thank you also to Deacon Jim Rush ‘76 for helping to spread the love of God’s Creation!
