Graduation Liturgy and Awards Ceremony

The Class of 2009 was reminded that "commencement" doesn't mean "the end", but it signifies "a new beginning". The students are about to begin a new phase of their education and we pray that they use the tools they learned and the treasures that were unlocked during their time here to continue shining like the stars that they are. We will miss you!

Making New Friends

For the fifth year in a row, our older students took on the task of raising enough funds to enable first and second grade students from Holy Name School in Camden to come to Cape May for the day. Our students provided lunch for their new friends, built sandcastles with them, went shell hunting, and more! It was a great day on the beach for all.

Prayer Partner Luau

"This was the best day of my whole life!" exclaimed one first grade student as he returned to class at the end of the day. The first grade class was the guest at an end of the year luau hosted by their prayer partners, the seventh grade students. Grass skirts, leis, a hoola hoop contest, snacks and a pineapple pinata rounded out the fun for the little ones and their older friends.

Career Days

Our children were given the opportunity to learn about various careers through visits from community members. Speaking to the children were policemen, a fireman, a trophy maker, a nurse, an emergency room doctor, a magician, a dog groomer and more! Some of the favorites were the fudge maker (who provided samples) and the Coast Guard chief (play the video clip) who brought recruits who were in their fourth week of training. Just so it's clear, the chief clearly explained the recruits' guns were demilitarized, meaning filled with lead and used for exercise purposes only.

Piano Recital

The talent of our students was shining again this morning during our annual Piano Recital. Play the clip posted here and you'll see why we are so proud of our children!

Vocations

Our children were honored by a visit from Sister Carmen, IHM and three novices, or "sisters in training". The students learned about the difference between "sister" and "nun" and asked many questions about the vocation. Our kindergarten students were happy to pose with our guests.
