St. Agnes School: Lighting the Way as Peace Builders

“Moving On!”
May 20 th was a big day in the lives of some
“little people” here at St. Agnes School.
This day marked the end of preschool and
the beginning of new experiences for many.
Parents, grandparents and special people filled
the seats of the gym to watch the preschoolers
perform many of the things they had learned
throughout the school year. The program was
accented with the “Days of the Week” song, a
song about Noah’s Ark and the PeaceBuilder’s
Pledge. The pledge is said by the whole
student body together every school day during
Morning Prayer. The program was completed
with Sr. Joan giving the preschool students
their “Moving On” certificates.

Oh, the Places You Will Go!
The theme of this year’s Learning Fair was
Reading. A stage presentation of “The
Bookworm” was presented by the third
graders and their teachers. The students
and their families were invited to tour the
school to partake in the many classroom
activities. A special thank you to the
Reading Committee, whose initiation of the
“Family Projects” enlivened the halls with
posters, t-shirts and dioramas depicting a
favorite family book.
Elegant Event
The St. Agnes Kindergarten classes came
dressed in their finest and used their best
manners for the fourth Annual Elegant Event.
Young gentlemen escorted young ladies to have
their pictures taken and then returned to their
respective classrooms for an elegant sit-down
lunch complete with dessert followed by dancing
a waltz. The children practiced their manners
and money counting skills as they ordered their
dining fare from parent waiters and waitresses.
The students discovered that it can be fun to get
dressed up and use their manners.
