SCHOOL GARDEN!

Dear Families,

We are very excited to share our garden with you and ask for your help over the summer. We have planned and planted a garden for our end of the year project. We did research on plant needs, plant reproduction, and budgeting as we planned. A few plants we are excited to grow are peas, beans, strawberries, mammoth sunflowers, tomatoes, and carrots. Summer Break is coming soon and we will need volunteers to take care of our garden during the school’s summer vacation. Jobs such as water-ing and weeding will need to be done weekly to help make our garden be successful! You are welcome to harvest the veggies for your home kitchen!

We are really excited to see our garden grow and would love for your family to enjoy it, too. We have put together a binder filled with instructions and fun facts about our garden and its plants. There is also some bird seed for our bird feeders to be refilled. All of this can be found in the black bin in the court-yard. If you’re interested in being a part of making our garden successful, follow the link below to sign up for a week to care for the garden.

Thank You!

CELEBRATING THE FEAST OF PENTECOST ON SUNDAY MAY 31.

Happy birthday to the Catholic Church! Happy birthday to you, who are the body

of the Church! We're all familiar with our own birthdays, and we celebrate them

because they mark the day of the year in which we entered into this life. But did you

know you have a second birthday? Because you are part of the body of the Church,

Pentecost is the Church's birthday, and yours as well. And like any birthday, it's a cause for

celebration. The word Pentecost is Greek and it means "50th day." Fifty days after Easter Sunday,

we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and their followers, and the beginning

of their Earthly ministry to make disciples of all nations. Pentecost is also a Jewish holiday, which

the Jews use to celebrate the end of Passover. Jews celebrate the gift of the law to Moses at Mt.

Sinai on this day. But we, as Catholics celebrate the birth of our Church. At Pentecost, the Apostles

and their followers were gathered in a room. Jews from all over the world were gathered with Peter,

the leader of the Apostles and the Eleven. At this time, a great wind blew and a flame appeared as

a tongue of fire, which split itself into many individual flames above the heads of all those present.

The Holy Spirit came upon these people and each began to speak in tongues. Despite the fact

many had no common language, they were perfectly able to understand one another.
