In September, Mrs. Cerabino announced that the theme for this academic year would be “The Year of Hope.” During Catholic Schools’ Week, we celebrated that theme. We remember that Jesus is the Light that dispels the darkness and that, as followers of Jesus, we are all called to shine His Light in all that we do. Shining His Light brings us the Hope that we need to overcome any obstacle that we may face. In recent weeks during Art Class, our students were challenged to consider their mission as Christians to be beacons of “Light” and “Hope” to others. They were asked to design a mask which reflects the theme of “hope” and/or “light.” The self-portraits you see here are their response to that challenge... From our littlest Bulldogs in PreK to our oldest "veterans" in the 8th Grade, each student took seriously the mission to be a beacon of Christ's "Light" and "Hope" through this project.  We now invite you to enjoy their work!       A special thank you goes out to Mrs. Cerabino for inspiring all of us with her theme for the year! As you watch this video, we hope that you'll find strength in the messages of "Light" and "Hope" so beautifully depicted by your children!  May their work inspire us all to shine Christ's Light in all that we do!
