Mercy and Kindness Tree

The Year of Mercy doesn’t end at St. Cecilia Cathedral School!  As a follow-up to the Year of Mercy, each St. Cecilia student has selected an act of mercy or kindness that they will try to perform throughout the Advent season.  For some it is…. “pray for others” or “help a stranger feel comfortable.”  For others it is “be nice to my siblings,” “share toys,” or “be a good person to others.”  Each student designed an ornament for our school “Mercy and Kindness Tree” that tells what they plan to do during Advent.

     Hopefully each student is also working on earning some money by helping out at home or performing acts of kindness for their own family in order to purchase an item for our all school Advent Service Project – helping the Burmese refugees who are parishioners of St. Cecilia School.  Please see the attached letter to our students explaining the project and listing what each grade level is asked to contribute.

ABC Club Wreath Sale Fundraiser

All students received an envelope and order form for the ABC Club Christmas Wreath Fundraiser.  The ABC (Activities Booster Club) does so much to help our school.  ABC supports a broad spectrum of activities ranging from field trips, after school academic programs and competitions, athletics, and high school scholarships.  The wreath sale replaces their annual Red Wheel frozen food sale.  

Latina Storyteller, Olga Loya Visits St. Cecilia Students

Olga Loya, Latina Storyteller

Latina Storyteller Olga Loya, shared stories with the Kindergarten through Grade 5 students on September 19. Loya is a Durham Museum September Scholar in Residence. She engaged the students with vivid stories her Mexican grandmother and father would tell. Olga’s stories are "an impassioned quest to keep alive not only the fabric of her family but the larger Latino culture, richly robed in folktales, ancient myths, and history." The stories not only engaged the students in song and movement, but taught them life lessons about valuing oneself and being kind to others. This is one of the school's activities to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 - Oct. 15.
