Good Friday-Easter Monday-No School/Easter Holiday
Easter Weekend/Monday Project:
Be A Light of Christ
In an effort to provide light in the world where there is so much uncertainty and worry, the St. Edward School family will have the chance to participate in a kindness activity each week to share the light of Christ with those around them.
Our first "Be a light of Christ" activity will be "showcased" on Easter Monday. All students are encouraged to participate with their family to provide hope and encouragement for their neighbors, friends and families. Our first activity is to create a positive message by drawing a picture, writing encouraging words or a Bible verse with chalk on your driveway or sidewalk. Or you can share your message by writing on a piece of paper and hanging it on your mailbox or front door. Please take a picture and share it with your teacher. We will share the pictures with our SE community.
