Bonus: Grandparents' Day and Padre Hurtado

I almost forgot!  The first Friday in August we celebrated Grandparents' Day for the preschool and kindergarten students.  Yours truly was asked to dress as a grandpa and read a story.  It was a blast!  Check out our school website for more pictures of Papa Noah and lots of adorable kids.
 We also went on a great retreat with 7th grade to the Padre Alberto Hurtado (now Saint Alberto Hurtado) to learn about serving the poor.  This guy was awesome.  He said that a small fire can light thousands of giant fires and that if we can all be small fires the whole world will shine bright.
 The students made sandwiches and we handed them out to homeless people around the complex.  It reminded me of the project we did in my stats class in Florida.  Very cool to see.
 Ok, I think that's everything I forgot.  Until next time!
