This week we have spent time in class and as a school remebering the events of Holy week. The fourth grade presented a prayer service on Holy Thursday of the washing of hands (a little easier in school than washing feet!). On Good Friday, we watched and discussed the movie Jesus Christ SuperStar. It was a different way to think about the last week in Jesus' life. Then in the afternoon, the second grade performed a passion play, the eighth grade presented the Stations of the Cross, and we had a veneration of the cross.
All of these events, individually and together, are part of why I love teaching at St. Nicholas Academy. Our daily activites are engaging, but being able to share in these Holy days together brings a feeling of community that is more than what you find in a book.
