Hail Mary, Full of Grace
We have been learning about the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. The children have taken time to pray the Rosary together during Religion class.
Christmas Parts of Speech
Here are a couple of our 3rd Graders with their Christmas Parts of Speech projects. Each child choose a thing related to the holidays and wrote nouns, verbs, and adjectives related to that item.
Community Time
Students met with their "HCA Families" to work on a service project. Families worked together to make place mats for the Meals on Wheels program.
OPERATION ADVENT
Throughout the Advent season,
Holy Child will be collecting materials
to support The Providence Center.
The Providence Center provides educational services
to the community in the Fairhill section of Philadelphia.
The median income per household in this neighborhood is less than $15,000,
which makes for the highest poverty rate in the city.
Additionally, Fairhill's murder rate is over five times the city's average,
which again makes for the highest in the city.
In the midst of the struggles that accompany such statistics,
The Providence Center offers the hard-working families of this neighborhood
education, love, and possibility.
Holy Child aims to help with that mission through Operation Advent.
Please help however you can by donating from the items on their wishlist:
dry erase markers, notebook and lined paper, pens and pencils,
colored computer paper, construction paper,
critical thinking games (chess, Stratego, Ticket to Ride, etc.),
cooperative games (story cubes, race to the Treasure, etc.).
