OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD project comes to an end as students prepare their gift boxes for delivery.

 

 

This year for Halloween, the library shelves were transformed into a spooky cave, thanks to the great work of child care worker Joanne.

 

As you walked through the doors, you were greeted by skeletons and lots of spider webs. 

 

Each class group had the opportunity to visit this spooky cave by a guided tour. The tour started with a tarot card  reading by Miss Cheryl and LBP students guest starred as monsters and other scary creatures.

 

 

Before taking the tour of the haunted library, students had the oppotunity of having their futures read.

 

Miss Cheryl concentrates into the crystal ball. She calls upon Miss Joanne through mental telepathy to come give students a tour.

 

Just like magic, Joanne appears and greets her next victims.

 

The first stop: -> graveyard of past visitors to this haunted library. Do you recognize any familiar names on the tombstones?

 

In the afternoon, students enjoyed a dance as they wore their costumes.

 

One of these creatures is a teacher. Can you tell which one? 

 

The World Wrestling Federation Championship belt was available this year for all to see. 

 

Students Anthony, Angelo and Mauro had their dreams come true with the thrill of holding the ultimate WWF prize.  

October is the time of year where we stop to pray and thank God for all our blessings.

 

Mr. Tabet leads us in a time of reflection and appreciation.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
