We had a wonderful day at the Hispanic Heritage Festival at James L. Collins Catholic School. Special thanks to Mrs. Huerta and Miss Hernandez for the amazing performances. We also appreciate all of the parent volunteers that helped with decorating our school and bringing such delicious treats for our students to sample. We also appreciate the support of our faculty and staff members who worked with our classes to educate them these last several weeks on Hispanic Heritage.
These girls continue to work together as a team as they played two games this weekend up at St. Joseph's.
Special thanks to Mrs. Reed and our alum, Patricia, for coming to our last 4H meeting to teach our students about consumer decision-making.
We were blessed to have two colonels (Steve & Chris Richmond) from the Commemorative Air Force Coyote Squadron on campus to speak with our U.S. Military History Club about their experiences in Vietnam. Our students are definitely excited to attend the annual Corsicana Airsho tomorrow at the Corsicana Airport.
Our elementary students focused on fire house safety with Corsicana Fire Rescue and their mobile fire house. Students learned how to identify potential hazards and what to do in case of a variety of emergencies.
Our 4th grade students enjoyed some traditional foods from Spanish speaking countries this week as they learn more about Hispanic Heritage. They sampled tres leches cake, flan, and chinichurri.
Some of our 4H Cooking Challenge teams were serving up healthy treats as they attended their first cooking practice.
These preschool students had a great time sampling all things "apple" as they celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day!
At our last Little Flowers Girls' Club meeting, the girls focused on the virtue of acceptance. As they discussed being joyful in accepting what the Lord gives you, created a mirror craft and also played the "glad" game from Pollyanna.

Special thanks to Mr. Chieng and Mr. Gamez who do so much for our school. You both bless our students. Thank you for driving our bus, repairing our facilities, and handling the daily needs of our campus.
These kindergarten students love learning how to read with Saxon Phonics.
These fourth grade students are blessed to have such creative opportunities to write in Mrs. Denis's class. Mrs. Denis's students write reflections in their journals daily. Additionally, they write reflections over the novels that they read in class. Later this month, they will put their creativity to the test as they become food critics and chefs and participate in the Denis Gruesome Gross Cafe! These little chefs will make a disgusting treat to share with the class and then write about it as they work together to make a class cookbook.
We love it when we have alumni back on campus to eat lunch with their sibling!
Chess Club had a great meeting last week. Our students love playing matches against each other.
These students in Mr. Lagomarsino's class were working on their projects for the JLCCS Hispanic Heritage Festival.
Special thanks to everyone who helped with our Ministry Fair at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church!
