Last week, students celebrated the Feast of the Annunciation.  The day began with Mass and a school-wide gathering where students learned about the significance of the day and prayed a Rosary together.  Students then enjoyed field day games including the egg and spoon relay, tug-of-war, hula hoops, jump ropes, potato sack races, and parachute games.  In the afternoon, a school-wide assembly provided an opportunity for each class to perform a song, and for select students to recite a poem.  The following prizes were awarded.
