Congratulations and best wishes to our 90 8th Grade students who received their school rings on March 14! Our pastor Father Cruz celebrated the Ring Day Mass at St. Raymond Church and blessed the rings that our 8th Graders received. Following Mass, a celebration breakfast was held in the gym for the students and their families.

Thank you to our Art teacher, Mrs. Charmaine Griffiths Adderley, for her work with our students in Art class. Below are some examples of their work in a variety of styles.
The Persistence of Memory, also known as Melting Clocks, is one of artist Salvator Dali's most famous works. Below, our students created their own Melting Clocks.
The first three collages below are examples of elongated animals, also in the style of Salvador Dalí.
Yayoi Kusama is a contemporary well known Japanese artist famous for her polka dot patterns. Under Mrs. Adderley's direction, our students created the polka dot pumpkin collages below.
Our school community celebrated the Feast of All Saints on Wednesday, November 1, with Mass in our auditorium for Kindergarten through 8th Grade. Father Emmanuel Duku was the principal celebrant. Father James Cruz, Father Raphael Boansi and Father Collins Ashu concelebrated.
Our 4th Grade students and two 5th Grade students dressed as their saint of choice for Mass. (See the first two photos below.) Both grades researched and wrote about various saints, and presented their findings to our 3rd Grade students. Our 6th Grade students created models of saints with short biographies attached.
Below, the 6th Graders' projects about St. Cecilia, St. Rose of Lima, St. Peter, St. Angela Merici, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Martha, St. Joan of Arc, St. Catherine of Siena, and many other saints.
