📚 LitFest provides a unique opportunity for our Catholic schools to unite in the spirit of friendly competition, while fostering a love for literature that aligns with our faith. Hosted at Bishop Canevin High School, students were judged on their knowledge of the books, being in character, creativity, and relating the books to a common theme.

✝️ Students also met Catholic author, Stephanie Lear Engelman. She shared her story about becoming Catholic and answering God's calling. Her book, 𝑨 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒅, was one of the books included in the reading list for Lit Fest this year. Congrats to both teams!!

In celebration of Earth Day this week, our kindergarten students learned about caring for God's creation by reducing, reusing, and recycling.
