October 21 we were lucky to be able to go to the Resch Center for mass. The students, staff, and chaperones really enjoyed themselves at this event. The students represented St. Mary's very well, and had a very fun day in the process. The every in the Resch Center was amazing, you could feel the excitement in the arena as soon as you walked through the doors!
While October came to and end so did our first round of book groups. One of our book groups read Where the Red Fern Grows and we decided to close out out book groups by watching the movie. As many of us know, this movie is quite a tear-jerker, but the students absolutely loved it! The class was told we could watch a movie based on one of the group's books if we followed book group expectations. All of the groups worked hard, and as a way to thank them for all of their effort we were able to treat ourselves to a movie and snacks! :)
