Bread Baking Day
Second-graders baked bread in preparation for their First Communion. They came together with their parents to learn how Jesus invites them to gather around his table every week at Mass and celebrate the Eucharist.
The children mixed all the ingredients, kneaded the dough, waited for the dough to rise and baked it. While they waited for the bread to rise, they were reminded that Jesus is the living bread. The children took home the bread to share with their families.
Pi Day Celebration
Pi Day is a holiday that is celebrated on March 14 every year by the grades 5-8 math classes at St. Helen School. The day was created to celebrate the mathematical constant π. It falls on 3/14 since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of Pi. Students, along with their teachers, make Pi Day T-shirts and bring in snacks, including pie.
