Father Jasper Visits HCA
We thank Father Rich Jasper for visiting with the Lower School division last week. He spoke to the children about the symbols of the Mass. He told them the reason for the vestment pieces he wears and explained the beginning part of the Mass. He will return later in the year to tell them more about the Mass.

The Cincture
The Stole

Animal Classifications
Our student scientists learned about animal taxonomy or the classification of living organisms. They completed an activity about classifying "Aliens" based on the criteria that the partners created.
St. Nicholas Visit
St. Nicholas came to visit the Lower School students on Monday. The children were excited to put their shoes under their lockers and find treats and stickers left behind by St. Nick.
Nativity - Religion Class
In Religion class, students spent some time viewing our school's nativity. In preparation for Christmas, students wondered about what the night of Jesus' birth was really like. They wrote down a "I wonder..." statement and shared their reflections with the class.
