Or is it Happy Indigenous People's Day? Was Columbus a hero? Was he a brutal colonizer? I'm not sure it matters. Columbus Day was not necessarily set aside to honor an individual but to recognize an event that began over 500 years of immigration to America by people seeking a better life. Changing the name or ignoring Columbus does not change our history. It's always important to recognize the good and the bad in history so that we may learn from it. Here's what I learned on Friday... All our Grand people had an awesome time. One thing they liked most was sitting with the students at Mass. It all went well, some broke the rules, but everyone was happy. Hats off to Gina for making a plan that worked!! I also heard we did amazing in our book sales!
I believe this week is pretty quiet. As we discussed on Friday, start making plans for conferences. 8th grade will have their first Bible Study with Fr. Tim on Thursday during lunch in the art room. Friday is Movie Night and be sure to remind students that next weekend is Uniform Weekend at Mass.
Enjoy the week.
