Holy Family School

What a special day that we all gather together and share a meal as a school/parish family. The entire school had a Thanksgiving lunch together in the gym. Each student decorated a feather during their art classes and all the feathers made our Holy Family Turkey. Fr. Gerard began the meal with the "Superman" prayer. The Rachel's Challenge student leaders along with Mrs. Calle, Ms. Ulrich and Mr. Gilbert set up the entire gym and served all the students, teachers and guests. We'd also like to thank Mrs. Messina, Mrs. Boyle and Mr. Lafalce for a delicious meal topped off with apple pie and ice cream! We are truly blessed! Click here to view some photos of the day!

Sharing God's love, that's what we do at Holy Family School! The fourth grade students happily shared some of their Halloween candy and created beautiful, candy filled Turkey Cups. The love kept flowing as the children visited St Joseph's Hospital. The children personally delivered their gifts to the nurses and staff who will work on Thanksgiving taking care of others instead of being home with their own family. God Bless those who choose a profession dedicated to helping those in need.

From Kindergarten through 8th grade, the children decorated gratitude feathers during their art classes. They thought about the many blessings they have and wrote down something they are thankful for! The nursery and pre-k classes also decorated their feathers during Social, Emotional learning classes. The feathers are beautiful! Wait until Tuesday to see how they were all put together!

Holy Family School fourth graders took a trip back in time to Colonial Long Island! Much was learned about our past while touring Old Bethpage Village Restoration, a living museum.
