Also last week, 51动漫 students in Grades 1-7 enjoyed a Chapel Talk by Fr. Graebe, who spoke about how all five of our senses help us to connect with God.  The Church engages our physical nature, since humans (unlike angels) are composed of both body and soul.

Through physical actions, such as kneeling, genuflecting, and folding our hands in prayer, we express our devotion.  We smell the incense, we listen to the sound of Church Bells, the Gospel, and the Word of God, and we taste by receiving Jesus in the Eucharist.  When we look through the Church鈥檚 stained glass windows, we use our eyes to see how God shines through everything, and brings the ordinary circumstances of our life into color.  

During this chapel talk, Fr. Graebe took students up in the choir loft to see the organ, an instrument that has pipes and uses air to create sound, similar to how we use our breath to speak and sing.  

The initial days after the Christmas break were filled with fun in the snow during outdoor recess.  Enjoy a few photos of the Kindergarten class below.

This week, students in Kindergarten and 1st Grade took a field trip to the same Nursing Home to share their joint recitation of 鈥淎 Night Before Christmas鈥� as well as other poems, songs, and musical performances.  Photos may be found below.
