What We Learned Today...April 2nd

Drinking a cup of "wine" (grape juice) during our Seder Meal

Religion: Today we were very fortunate to have Mr. Meyers join us this morning for a special Seder Meal prepared by Mr. Meyers. We were very fortunate to have him come visit today as he taught the students all about the Jewish Passover and how it connects to our faith as Catholics through the sharing of this meal. The Seder meal consisted of numerous parts: Grape Juice (Symbolize Wine), Parsley, Apple Chunks, Horseradish and Unleavened bread.

AR Party: After Arts. Ed as well as after our liturgy in the afternoon we celebrated reaching our AR goals by watching the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Liturgy: Shortly after lunch we headed down the gym for a special Holy Thursday Liturgy.  A big thank you to Ms. Olsen and Ms. Baliko-Phonsavatdy for preparing such a wonderful liturgy!

Here are some more pictures from our Seder meal this morning:
