Weekly School Broadcast Photo credit to an outstanding Lourdes High School student that gives his time to work with our students in an end of the day extended care program.
The song Somewhere Over the Rainbow comes to mind with this beautiful photo! Spring is in the air, but as Minnesotans we know that winter could still show its face before we are ready to be done with the snow and cold! The fun and laughter of students outside has been so much fun to observe! 5th graders led the 1st and 3rd grade students with praying the Stations of the Cross this morning. Next week the 4th graders will lead the Kindergarten and 2nd graders, and then we will pray them virtually again as a whole school before the Spring Break vacation begins. Enjoy the weekend and time with your loved ones.
God bless, Miss Heimer
