Fitness Camp
Students at St. Helen School are getting fit for the new school year. Physical education teacher Amy Hotchkiss is “shaping up her students” with outdoor activities utilizing scooters, playground equipment and even a water slide. The camp took place the four days before the students came to school for orientation on Aug. 19.
Sister Margaret, principal at St. Helen School, remarked, “How nice it is to hear the children’s laughter again.”
Sr. Margaret welcomed all students back to School on Aug. 22.
