Next Time Won't You Sing With Me

We had a very special closing to our GIFT classes on March 3rd. After singing the Zacchaeus song in class earlier this year, one of the first graders found the music to accompany his class on the guitar. He was generous (and brave) enough to share his gift with the entire GIFT group!

And now, to the video...

Thanks 1st graders for singing with us all! (And thanks Fr. Tom for quickly producing a working camera!)

Looking Toward Lent

The 3rd Grade GIFT class was working on their Lenten project last night.

A lot of work went into each and every one.

First was the rolling...

Then came some braiding...

Followed by the transfer to a plate...

Then it was the very careful placement of the toothpicks...

And finally, a finished Crown of Thorns.

During Lent, the 3rd graders will work to remove the thorns by doing good deeds. By Easter time, the crowns should be free of thorns and ready for Easter decoration!
