Former St Columbkille Catholic School student Fr. John Norman stopped by to visit today.
Mrs. English showed her current students the First Grade photo of one of her former students.
On Monday, Fr. Norman returns to Rome for his final year of school. He showed Mrs. Loeffler's class where Rome is.
Prompted by Mrs. Loeffler's enthusiasm for her current students, Fr. Norman decided they needed some more marbles in their marble jar.
The students in 1B were overwhelmed with excitement when Fr Norman loaded up their jar as well. The students are typically allowed to add just one marble to the jar when they behave well. Then, when the jar is full there is a class party. With Fr Norman's help, the next marble party is coming quicker than Mrs. Loeffler or Mrs. English had anticipated.
Fr. Norman's classroom tour finished in 3A visiting his Third Grade teacher and blessing the students.
Fr. Norman: be sure to visit again!
Brings back memories of him as a student there in some of those very classrooms!! What a blessing to have one of the former students now ordained to serve God's people. With God's help, we did a good job helping him see God's love in action in the classroom. Thank-you Fr. Norman, for accepting the call to priesthood!!
