Reading for the Sisters

We appreciate that the Benedictine Community of Atchison, Kansas was kind enough to share Sister Judith, Sister Barbara and Sister Judith with us this week. It made us appreciate how the Benedictine Sisters contributed to our school. It gave us a sense of how we have grown as a school since 1916. And it helped us better understand what it means to give yourself to God in prayer and work.

As a small gesture of our appreciation we raised money for the Benedictine Sisters. For a small donation students could wear jeans to school on Wednesday and today. Today a Read-A-Thon raised more money.

 

Students curled up with a book and read.

 

 

 

We were able to raise

$3,813.16

for the Work and Prayer of the Sisters.

We appreciate the sisters more

 than money can express.

Footnote: To start the school in 1916, the trustees had to borrow $3,000.
