Rain, rain, go away....

We started our day by singing Hosanna to the King and waving our palms as the older students went to the liturgy in the gym.  We then participated in the Kindergarten liturgy in the Learning Commons.

Miss Rosemarie found many chicken information books and storybooks for us to get ready for our chicks. Thank you Miss Rosemarie!
