Sing, Sing, Sing (Grade 6)

The grade six students are in charge of the music for the upcoming mass (Friday, October 12). Mrs. Hurley (parent-volunteer) has been working with us on most of the music for mass. We will be having our final practice with Mrs. Hurley next Tuesday. We are also working on "You've Got a Friend" for our final song. This song was chosen to represent both our current grade six unit on friendships and relationships and October being Bullying Prevention month. I am asking the students to practice this song over the weekend. The YouTube link to the instrumental version can be found HERE and the lyrics that we are using can be found HERE.

Our Retreat!

To get away from the school as a group of grade 6 leaders - what a treat! Students participated in games, skits, and discussions on topics such as teamwork, faith, doing the "right" thing. We also got a amazing tour of Holy Redeemer parish. Deacon Paul spoke to us about what it means to be a "light" in our life and in the live of others and we wrote personal letters to God. The grade six students (not surprisingly) were amazing! They asked fantastic questions and, I think, all benefited from a day to take a rest from school work and bond with their classmates. What a great way to end the week!
