Art Show 
The Second Graders proudly showed off their creative work of arts when we visited the art show. We were all very impressed with the artistic talents of all of the Holy Child students.














 Pen Pals
In addition to practicing for next week's First Holy Communion liturgy, the Second Graders made First Communion cards for their pen pals at Holy Child School at Rosemont who will be celebrating the Sacrament of Eucharist this Saturday.
Science
It isn't easy to balance a popsicle stick on a chopstick, but these Second graders were able to do it. They wrapped a pipecleaner around the popsicle stick and then adjusted the clothespins on the pipecleaner until the popsicle was balanced on the chopstick.
